Abstract

The vessel comprises a hull 2 having an elongate bow portion 8 having a length greater than its width at its widest point, an elongate stern portion 12 having a length greater than its width at its widest point and a central portion 4 between the bow portion and the stern portion. The central portion has a width greater than the widths of the bow and stern portions and also has first and second flared portions 40 at the junctions with the bow and stern portions. The central portion has its widest point between the first and second flared regions. In use the bow and stern portions act to cut through an incident wave while the central portion acts to induce the hull to pitch and roll under the action of an incident wave. The vessel further comprises a foil assembly (206a-d, Fig 7) for generating movement of the vessel through the water under the action of an incident wave. A foil assembly for a wave-powered, water-borne craft is also disclosed.
