    摘要: A multihull watercraft has at least three hulls extending longitudinally along the watercraft. The hulls at least partly define a port side tunnel and a starboard side tunnel therebetween. A port deflection device is configured to engage water in response to the watercraft leaning toward the port side when turning. The port deflection device is laterally aligned with the port side tunnel. A starboard deflection device is configured to engage water in response to the watercraft leaning toward the starboard side when turning. The starboard deflection device is laterally aligned with the starboard side tunnel. Each of the deflection devices includes an angled surface extending downwardly and rearwardly from an upper tunnel surface of a corresponding one of the tunnels. The angled surface is positioned to remain above a water line when the multihull watercraft is at rest on water.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a power supply system, especially for a floating vessel, comprising at least two segregated power sections, each constituting a main redundancy group, and each comprising at least one of a power generator adapted to generate an electrical power to a main switchboard and a power consumer, such as a propulsion unit, drawing power from said switch board, and a bus-tie connecting the main switch boards of each redundancy group. The system also comprises at least to segregated directly powered thruster redundancy groups, each including a thruster drive, each being connected to the main switch board of a corresponding one of the main redundancy groups, respectively, the thruster redundancy groups including AC/DC converter means and a DC interconnection connecting the thruster redundancy groups thus proving a loop structure, the thruster redundancy groups being able to draw power from both main switchboards.
