Abstract
A water craft has a hull 1 which divides in its aft section, from or near the central longitudinal axis of the hull, into two separate sections. The internal wall 9 of each section converges towards the external wall 10 of each section towards the aft of the hull to form a swallow tail 4 at the aft section of the hull. The width of the hull remains substantially constant throughout the aft section, while the deck of the water craft extends between the two sections to cover the gap between them. The outer wall of each section may meet the inner wall of each section at a sharp edge (8, Fig 6). The transom 5 of the hull may be recessed into the swallow tail or may extend across the aft edge of the hull.
Description
l Swallow Tailed Boat Hull The present invention relates to an improved
hull for water craft.
Water craft hulls typically have a pointed end known as the bow and widen in breadth toward the middle of the craft and then tend to narrow in breadth toward the stern. This traditional configuration of hulls is well known. The width of the hull at the waterline typically goes from a point at the bow to the widest about mid-ships and narrower at the stern. Displacement and send displacement hull forms tend to narrow significantly at the stern while planing craft tend to narrow less at the stern and have a sharp angle where the bottom of the boat meets the transom.
As the average width at the waterline is significant for the stability of craft any narrowing of the waterline affects adversely the stability of the craft.
Displacement and semi displacement hull tend not to have the sharp edge between the bottom of the boat and a transom which would help them to break contact with the water and more easily or even being able at all to come up on the plane.
According to the present invention there is provided a hull for water crag comprising traditional hull shapes with the hull splitting into two toward the stern with the width at the waterline being substantially maintained. The average waterline width is thus increased while flow of water past and under the craft is not significantly restricted. The inner part of splits may have a sharp angle where the two sides converge to facilitate the break with the water flow, which facilitates planing. The same configuration can be used on tunnel hulled and multi-hulled craft where wetted areas, sponsors, and pontoons can have port or starboard parts ofthe swallow tail to unprove stability and speed.
With a slight heel on the craft the swallow tails increase the waterline length
and reduce drag. The sharp angle of convergence between the two sides of the swallow tail combined with its direction slightly across the beam ofthe boat means that the craft more easily breaks contact with the water flowing past it thus making it possible for hulls which were predominantly semi-plarung and displacement craft to have a possibility to plane.
A specific embodiment of invention will now be described by way of example in which: Figure 1 shows the underside of a monohull with a swallow tail: Figure 2 show the underside of a tunnel hull or catamaran with a swallow tail forms on the sponsors or pontoons: Figure 3 shows a cross section of a monohull and relates to station as in Fig. 1.

The transom (S) may be located anywhere along the swallow tails (4) or forward of them. The swallow tails (4) may start to split from the keel (15) or keels (15) and splay out anywhere ad of niid-ships. The split may begin below Me waterline and extend an below Me waterline extending from the keel line (15) ad and outward toward Me beam of Me boat. The area of the hull (16) between die two inner sides (9) of die swallow tails (4) and Me transom (5) will tend to be above Me waterline, but need riot necessarily be so. Where the two sides of
the swallow tails (4), outer (10), and inner (9) meet, they form a sharp angle (8) that lies at the juncture of the two sides running from the keel or keels ad and outward toward the beam. The outer side (lo) of the swallow tail (4) will tend to be rounded as it approaches the sharp junction (8) whereas the inner side (9) will tend to be more perpendicular and flat. Stations along the hull are marked as, bb, cc, and dd, and relate to Figures 3 to 6.
Figure 2 illustrates a water craft tunnel hull (1) from underneath similar to Figure I with the addition of a tunnel (6) The features of the swallow tails (4) are similar to those in Figure 1. The stations ee, if, gg, hh, relate to Figures 7 to 10. Figure 3 illustrates a cross section of a watercrad hull and relates to station aa in Figure 1. In figure 3 the water line (11) is the line between the wetted area (14) and the rest of the hull at an area near the bow of the boat.
Figure 4 illustrates a cross section (bb) on Figure 1 of a hull near midships showing the central keel (15) Figure 5 illustrates a cross section of a water crag hull Figure 1 at the station cc where the swallow tails just start to divide.
Figure 6 illustrates a cross section of a watercraft hull as in figure 1 at station dd where the swallow tails are more developed where (10) is outer side of the swallow tails (4) meet the inner side (9) at a shard junction (8).
Figure 7 illustrates a cross section of a tunnel hull water crag at station ee on Fig. 2 where 6 is the tunnel near the bow end.
Figure 8 illustrates a tunnel hull water crag cross section about mid ships as in figure 2 at station If. The tunnel (6) separates the two sections ofthe hull
above the waterline (11) and the wetted areas (14). The two keels (15) run along the bottoms of each side of the tunnel (6).
Figure 9 illustrates a tunnel hull water craft cross section at station gg in Figure 2. The swallow tails (4) are already forming at this station gg with a widening of the tunnel (6) below and near the waterline (1 1).
Figure 10 illustrates a tunnel hull water crag cross section as at station hh on Figure 2 where the swallow tails (4) are more developed. The tunnel (6) has widened considerably to fonn the swallow tails this close to the stern. The outer side (10) of the swallow tails (4) meet the inner side (9) at a sharp angle ' (8).; In Figure 11 is a shows a cross section of a water craft hull as at station bb in Figure 1 with "hook keels" (7) on each side of the craft angled down and outwards around and aft of mid ships.
Figure 12 shows a cross section of a tunnel hull water craft as in Figure 2 at station ff about midships or a little aft of midships with hook keels angled down and out both on the tunnel (6) side of the wetted areas (14) and the outer edges. Figure 13 is s side view of a hull, sponsor or pontoon (1) showing from the bow (2) to the stern (4) Ed a transom (5) with stations marked along the; swallow tail area. The waterline being marked (11) and the hatched wetted area (14).
Figure 14 shows just the swallow tail area side view of Figure 13 with similar numbers as Figure 13 while File 19 shows a port side swallow tail (4) Mom above with related station markings to Figures 13 19 I
Figures 15 to 18 show cross sections of a port side swallow tail at stations on Figures 13, 14, and 19. The swallow tail (4) diminishes in area toward the stern (4) The gradual diminishing in size both in draft, that is size of wetted area (14) and the narrowing of the swallow tail (4) means that at displacement speeds there is a smooth flow of water. At faster speeds the water flowing under the hulls can break contact with the hull at the sharp edge (8) so craft, which were considered to only be displacement or semi displacement in shape and use, can gain some planing ability.
Figure 20 is a side view of a water crag hull, sponsor or pontoon (1) from the bow (1) to the transom (5) with wetted areas hatched (14) below the water line; (11). In addition stations mm, no, oo, and pp are marked in the swallow tail (4) area. Figure 21 is a side view of the swallow tail (4) area of Figure 20 while Figure 26 is a starboard side view Mom above of a swallow tail where (10) is the outside side, which continues substantially in line with the beam of the boat and does not turn substantially in toward the keel line. (9) is the inside side of the swallow tail which curves outward in the stern area toward the outer side of the water craft to meet the transom and/or the outside side (to).
Figures 22 to 25 show cross sections of a starboard side of a swallow tail hull, or the starboard sponsor or pontoon of a tunnel hull or multihull water craft that relate to stations mm, nn, Do, and pp on Figures 20, 21, and 26. They illustrate the narrowing and diminishing in size of the swallow tail toward the stern of the watercra6.
In Figure 22 showy a cross section of Fig. 20, 21 and 26 at station mm, We inside side (9) of the swallow tail has already moved outward from the keel line while the outside side (lo) remains substantially in line with the outside I line of the hull forward of it. The draft or depth of the wetted area (14) of Me
swallow tail (4) remains substantially Me same as the hull forward of it. The juncture of outer side (10) and inner side (9) at this station may be, but does not necessarily need to be, as sharp as the juncture further aft.
Figure 23 shows a cross section of a narrowed swallow tail (4) at station nn on Figures 20, 21 and 26. At this station the draR or depth ofthe wetted area (14) below the waterline (11) and beam, or line of the outside side (10) may, though not necessarily, diminish The inside side (9) will have moved outward toward the beam of the boat in comparison to station mm.
Figure 24 illustrates a cross section of Figures 20, 21 and 26 at station Do. A continuation of any variations in dimensions in draft and width begun as illustrated in Figures 22 and 23 will continue at this station, generally, although not necessarily, in progressive degree.
Figure 25 is an illustration of a cross section of a starboard swallow tail section referring to station pp on Figures 20, 21 and 26. Here any progressive diminishing of width and depth will have continued so that the inner side (9) will have moved substantially outward toward the outside side (10) and at We juncture of the two sides the sharp edge (8) will have become sharper at, although not necessarily, less than 90 degrees angle.
Figure 27 illustrates a cross section showing port (ii) and starboard (mm) portions of a swallow tail on a hull, tunnel hull or multihull water craft, and refers to stations ii in Figures 13, 14, 15 and 19 plus station mm in Figures 20,21, 22, and 26 The inside sides (9) of the swallow tails have already started to move away from each other leaving a growing gap in between the joining part of hull, widened tunnel or bridge deck (16) will tend to be, but will not necessarily be above the water line (1 1). The outer side (10) is at this station following substantially Me same draPr and beam line as the hull forward of it.
The two related stations in Figure 28, jJ (port) plus nn (starboard), are aft of stations ii plus mm. Station jj relates back to Figures 1 3, 14, 19, and 16 while nn relates to Figures 20, 21, 26, and 23. Again any hull part joining them will tend to be above the waterline (1 l) but could be below it.
Figure 29 illustrates a cross section of port (kk) and starboard (oo) Swallow tails and relate to Figures 13,14, 17, and 19 plus Figures 20,21, 26 and 24 respectively. They illustrate a cross section relationship aft of stations jj plus nn. The diminishing width and depth of the swallow tails becomes evident, as does the sharpening angle (8).
Figure 30 is an illustration of a cross section of port and starboard swallow tail configurations at stations 11, (port) and pp (starboard). The port side ll relates back to figures 13, 14, 18 and 19, while the starboard side pp relates back to Figures 20, 21, 2S, and 26. The progression of the diminishing volume of each swallow tail (4) can be seen along with the sharpening angle (8) at the junction ofthe outer sides ( 10) and the inner sides (9).
Figure 31 shows station kk from the previous Figures where the water craft is horizontal on the water giving an area below the waterline (11) and a wetted area (14). The angle (8) of the juncture of sides (10) and (9) to the water flowing from it is less acute than in Figure 32. 1 In Figure 32 we have the same cross section station as in Figure 31 but here the boat is heeled as when sailing. Because the outer side (10) does curare inward even slightly, when the craft is heeled the aft most portion of the swallow tail will tend to be higher in relation to the water line (1 l). In addition the angle of (8) in relation to the water line will be more acute Man when the boat is horizontal as in Figure 31. These feahres make for less water resistance and less drag so that the boat can sail faster.
Figure 33 illustrates the ad section of an upturned hull will swallow tails (4) with transom (S) and connecting hull section (16).
Figure 34 shows an upturned hull (l) with keel line (IS) dividing into the swallow tails (4) with transom (5) and connecting hull portion (16) between the inside sides (9) ofthe swallow tails. The sharp edge (8) ofthe juncture between the inside side (9) and the bottom of the boat or the inward curving outer side (lo) forms a break point for water flowing out from under the hull which facilitates planing. The gradual narrowing ofthe hulls wetted area coupled with any diminishing in draft facilitates easy movement through the water at displacement speeds. The splayed swallow tail (4) tends to capture water in waves moving from behind and so aids forward movement and surfing. The transom (5) and hull connection (16) also help capture water from waves from astern and so aid forward movement and surfing, particularly in conjunction with the swallow tails.
Figure 35 shows and upturned tunnel hull or a catamaran with a full length bridge deck with Me tunnel (6) splaying out at the swallow tails (4) The advantages with this type of craft are similar to those mentioned in reference to Figure 34, but in addition the swallow tails can have the effect of sucking water through the tunnel (6) and helping forward motion. I Figure 36 is an illustration of a cross section of a sponsor or pontoon where the hook keels (7) both on the beam and keel line are in a rounded profile.
Figure 37 is an illustration of a cross section of a sponsor or a pontoon where We hook keels (7) are of and angular profile.
Figure 38 shows a side view of an angle hook keel (7) below a hull (1) with (2) pointing to the bow end and (3) pointing toward Me starry
Figure 39 shows a side view of a curved hook keel (7) with the same orientation as Figure 38.
Figure 40 illustrates the underside of a swallow tail (4) with a tunnel (6) Concave profiles (13) run along the underside of the swallow tails (4) to meet the outer side (10) at the sharp edge (8) in a series of curves. The concave sections give more edges for a greater variety of water release as water moves past the crag.
Figure 41 shows a cross section of a port side swallow tail (4) where the outer side (10) remains substantially the same as in a swallow tail without concave sections. The inner side (9) is built up in a series of concave sections which raw t from the hull section forward of the swallow tails and progressively end in a series of curves at (8).
Figure 42 shows a cross section of a starboard side of a swallow tail (4) with the same characteristics as the port side in Figure 41. 1 Figure 43 is similar to Figure 41 but with a concave section (12) on the outside side (10).
Figure 44 is similar to Figure 42 with the addition of a concave section (12) on the outside side (10) Further modifications and improvements may be incorporated without departing from the scope of the invention herein intended.
