Motorkatamaran ('WAVE PIERCER') 24 metres aluminium construction

Reaching far back in peoples history, catamarans and multi-hull boats have been successfully used because of their stability against tipping over, their simplicity in hull design and their potential for high speed. We are experiencing a renaissance of these design principles particularly in the commercial use of ferryboats and high performance boats.
What does wavepiercer mean ?
We use this name to describe a motor catamaran where the hulls have only little buoyancy to enable them to pierce through the waves, rather then climb on top.
	The single hull, positioned above and between the main hulls provides buoyancy when we encounter rather large waves. Above the waterline this concept differs from conventional catamarans. It provides us with exceptional advantages. Less vertical energy is lost because of less buoyancy at the stem and more force is available to pierce the water. It results in a softer and more comfortable journey than in a single-hull yacht.
	The center hull of a wave piercer "hangs" above the waterline to provide buoyancy when trailing waves reach its height. Pitching and tossing occurs to a far lesser degree than in single-hull boats.
Wave piercer hulls are advanced high performance „half-displacers" This unconventional design provides economical long distance travel at rather high speeds.
