Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0945336A1] Described herein is a multihull watercraft (for example a catamaran) comprising two or more hulls 1 assembled together by a number of mutually independent hollow cross brackets 5, each hull 1 comprising at least one "bow" hollow module (2C) and one "stern" hollow module (2A) and, normally, one or more intermediate hollow modules (2B) which make it possible to increase the length of the hull 1 in a modular manner. The hollow modules 2 are floating ones, are supplied fully equipped, and can be assembled also in water at the place of use by means of reversible connection means 3 (for example, bolts) operated from the inside of the modules 2 without the need for a boatyard, slipway, particular equipment, and/or specialised staff. The modules 2 and the brackets 5 have dimensions such as to enable them to be transported in containers. <IMAGE>
