This is a measure of the fullness of the ends of the hull.
Types catamaran hull design. For example the HFR of a 100 luxury catamaran may be 121 providing it with a high speed potential. Fun and interesting new trends in catamarans make sailing even more exciting than ever before. A catamaran is a design for a boat that utilizes two hulls.
Of course the larger the boat the narrower the hulls will become in comparison to its length. Deep v-shaped boats are designed to plane on top of the water at higher speeds and provide a smoother ride through choppy water. We distinguish between two types of catamarans in terms of design.
With large waves deep hulls tend to be better than multihulls. In practice the most stable hull design depends on the specific conditions in which the boat will be used. V-shaped hulls are planing hulls and are the most common type of hull for powerboats.
The longitudinal motions can be reduced by using fins or stabilizers. Schionning Designs use three hull types for our range of power catamarans each with different design and performance characteristics. The latter is a large vessel which uses a method based on preserving the balance of the boat.

This has been improved in the wave piercing catamarans developed to reduce the pitching and in the SWATH Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull design where the water plane area is very much reduced and a larger part of the displaced water volume is well below the water line. The former is a small and compact boat that applies a floating technique in order to drive the two hulls. The so-called Pontoon and the SWATH Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull.
