Indeed, this hydrodynamic drag increases rapidly with the speed of the boat. In fact, to achieve high speeds while limiting the energy consumption of the propulsion device(s), the hull(s) of the boat must be located as much as possible out of the water.
  • Such boats capable of reaching these high speeds can be monohull boats, i.e. comprising a single hull.

  • the secondary float 5 of each hull 2 is movable in rotation around an axis of the pivot type connection 45 relative to the main float 3 of this hull 2 and the movements of each secondary float 5 relative to the main float 3 of a hull 2 and to the structure 11 of the boat 1 are amortized.
  • the trim correction system 40 makes it possible to cushion the movements of each secondary float 5 of a hull 2 relative to the main float 3 of this hull 2 as a function of the support forces of the boat 1 on the surface water and waves that the boat 1 may encounter and thus attenuate the effects of the waves on the boat 1 thus advantageously improving the comfort of the passengers of the boat 1.
  • the maximum height of movement of a secondary float 5 with respect to the structure 11 of the boat 1 according to the first variant of the trim correction system 40 is for example between 100 and 300 millimeters at the rear. of this secondary float 5.
  • FIG. 9 represents a detailed view of a secondary float 5 of a hull 2 of the boat 1 comprising a second variant of the trim correction system 40.
  • the trim correction system 40 comprises for each hull 2 a pivot type connection 45 connecting the secondary float 5 and the main float 3, an intermediate support 43 arranged between a secondary float 5 and the structure 11, three shock absorbers 42 arranged between the intermediate support 43 and the structure 11 and an actuator 41, for example a preferably hydraulic cylinder, arranged between the intermediate support 43 and the secondary float 5.
  • an intermediate support 43 is connected by the pivot type connection 45 with the main float 3.
  • the pivot type connection 45 therefore allows a rotational movement between three parts, namely an intermediate support 43, a secondary float 5 and a main float 3.
  • the actuator 41 makes it possible to control the movement of the secondary float 5 of a hull 2 relative to the intermediate support 43 and, consequently, in relation to the main float 3 of this hull 2 in order to modify an angle between the secondary float 5 and the main float 3 of this hull 2.
  • the attitude of the boat 1 with respect to the surface of the water can be adapted to the speed of the boat 1 and to the state of the surface of the water and waves in order to limit the friction of the main floats 3 and secondary 5 with the water surface.
  • the shock absorbers 42 make it possible to dampen the movements of the secondary float 5 and the intermediate support 43 relative to the structure 11 and relative to the main float 3 of this hull 2 as a function of the support forces of the boat 1 on the surface of the water and thus attenuate the effects of waves on the boat 1.
  • THE figures 10 and 11 represent a detailed sectional view of a third variant of the trim correction system 40 and of the secondary float 5 of a hull 2 of the boat 1.
  • the trim correction system 40 comprises for each hull 2, as for the second variant, an intermediate support 43, a pivot type connection 45 connecting the secondary float 5, the intermediate support 43 and the main float 3 of each hull 2, at least one shock absorber 42 and an actuator 41, for example a jack.
  • this at least one shock absorber 42 is arranged between an intermediate support 43 and the structure 11.
  • the actuator 41 is arranged inside an intermediate support 43 which is itself positioned partly inside a secondary float 5.
  • the secondary float 5 of a hull 2 then moves outside the intermediate support 43, the figures 10 and 11 respectively representing the two extreme positions of the secondary float 5 of a hull 2 relative to the intermediate support 43.
  • the actuator 41 is fixed by one of its ends to the intermediate support 43 and has at another of its ends a rod 44 connected to the two sides of the secondary float 5.
  • the actuator 41 makes it possible, as for the second variant, to control the movement of the secondary float 5 of a hull 2 with respect to intermediate support 43 and, consequently, with respect to the main float 3 of this hull 2 in order to modify the trim of the boat 1.
  • Each shock absorber 42 also makes it possible, as for the second variant, to dampen the movements of the secondary float 5 and the intermediate support 43 relative to the main float 3 of this hull 2 as a function of the support forces of the boat 1 on the water surface and thus attenuate the effects of waves on the boat 1.
  • the maximum height of movement of an assembly formed by a secondary float 5 and an intermediate support 43 with respect to the structure 11 of the boat 1 and the maximum height of movement of a secondary float 5 with respect to an intermediate support 43 according to the second or the third variant of the trim correction system 40 are for example of the order of 200 millimeters at the level of the stern 15 of the boat 1.
  • the pivot type connection 45 connecting, for each hull 2, the secondary float 5, the main float 3 and, where appropriate, an intermediate support 43 is arranged substantially parallel in the transverse direction Y.
  • the shock absorbers 42 are connected respectively to the structure 11 of the boat 1 and to a secondary float 5 or to an intermediate support 43 by pivot type or ball joint type connections.
  • the ends of the actuator 41 are connected respectively to a secondary float 5 and to an intermediate support 43 by pivot type or ball joint type connections.
  • one of the two ends of the actuator 41 is positioned in a slot of the secondary float 5 or of the intermediate support 43 so that the movements of the secondary float 5 relative to the intermediate support 43 are compatible with the movement of the actuator 41 without generating parasitic mechanical stresses.
  • each shock absorber 42 can be coupled to a spring as shown in the figures 8 at 11.
