Why Did We Patent Our Hull Design?
Meet the award-winning naval architect behind Invincible’s patented catamaran innovations. Pete Melvin explains our two patents—semi-asymmetric hull design and twin-stepped construction—plus our industry-leading tunnel clearance and wave diffuser technology.
Four Key Attributes
Not all catamarans perform equally offshore. Our patented performance starts with award-winning design. Key Attributes that set our cats apart include:
- TWO patented innovations: Semi-asymmetric hull design + Twin-stepped bottom
- Industry’s highest tunnel clearance
- Wave diffuser technology
- Designed by award-winning naval architects Morelli & Melvin
Design at the Cutting Edge
Symmetric cat hulls become wobbly and unpredictable during high-speed turns. Our patented semi-asymmetric design eliminates that problem, with larger outer bottom panels that provide more inboard roll into turns for safer, more comfortable maneuvers. Through the use of computational fluid dynamics and breakthrough engineering, our hull design resulted in innovation worth protecting.
