Abstract (en)
[origin: US6397769B1] A multi-hulled vessel of variable width is disclosed, in which two floats (1, 2) are connected with one another by means of a variable connection device (4). By means of the connection device, the distance between the floats can be varied. At the maximum distance between them, the vessel features optimum seaworthiness, while at the minimum distance between them it has a small berthing space requirement. The connection device (4) supports the central unit (3), which encompasses a useful area unit (5). The floats (1, 2) do not have a continuous deck height over their entire length, but feature recesses (120, 220). These recesses (120, 220) are pushed beneath the useful area unit (5) when the floats are adjusted to their minimum interval spacing.
