the paper summarises an experimental and theoretical investigation into the resistance

components in calm water of high speed displacement and semi-displacement catamarans with
symmetrical demihulls.
Total resistance, running trim, sinkage experiments and wave pattern analysis based on multiple
longitudinal cut techniques were carried out for a mathematically defined hull form (wigley hull)
and three round bilge hulls derived from the NPL series. The tests were conducted over a Froude
number range 0.2 to 1.0 and separation to length ratios of 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, and infinity. Wake
