Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03033336A1] The present invention is concerned with a hull assembly for an aquatic vessel, and particularly with a catamaran vessel provided with the hull assembly. The hull assembly has a plurality of flexible modular containers units. Each of the container units is connected together to form an outer shell structure with an inner hollow section. Each of the container units has an opening facing the inner hollow section. A plurality of inflatable bags are housed within each container unit. Each of the inflatable bags has an inlet for injecting a gas into each of the inflatable bags so as to provide rigidity to each of the container units. The hull also has an inner keel connecting the hull sections together within the inner hollow section along a longitudinal axis of the hull. The inner keel is provided with openings in registration with each opening of the container unit. An outer skin coat covers the container units and the inner keel.
