This sequence shows the 18 ft Universal Hull prototype manoeuvring with 15 hp motor on a mirror smooth surface. Nearly all monohulls, as they approach displacement hull speed, generate a substantial hull wave. Specialised motor boats use a combination of motor and power to climb out of the hull wave and "plane". This prototype produces almost no hull wave, and just gets faster with increased power. These characteristics generate revolutionary reductions in fuel consumption, and are applicable in principle at any size and with most types of marine vessel.
