The present invention is broadly directed to a hybrid-powered multihull surface vessel comprising a main hull including first propulsion means operatively coupled to a combustion engine; a supplementary hull laterally spaced from and connected to the main hull to increase the stability of the main hull, the supplementary hull including second propulsion means operatively coupled to an electric motor located at the supplementary hull; an onboard control system arranged to control the combustion engine and the electric motors to effect sailing of the multihull at the surface in either: i) a primary propulsion mode where propulsion of the multihull is effected at a relatively high speed via the combustion engine and the first propeller alone; or ii) a secondary propulsion mode where propulsion of the multihull is effected at relatively low speed via the electric motors and the associated second propellers alone.

The present invention is directed broadly to an underwater appendage assembly (10) of a marine vessel (12). The underwater appendage assembly (10) is in the form of a rudder assembly fitted to a bow section (14) of the vessel (12). The rudder assembly comprises an appendage in the form of a rudder foil (18) connected to a flapper member (20). The flapper member (20) is arranged whereby movement and more particularly pitching, of the vessel (12) induces deflection of the flapper member (20) relative to the rudder foil (18). This deflection in the flapper member (20) provides an oscillating movement of the flapper member (20) in a flapping action which is substantially synchronised with movement of the vessel (12) upward and downward. The flapping action of the flapper member (20) is effective in promoting forward propulsion of the vessel (12).

The present invention relates broadly to an unmanned surface vessel (10) comprising a hull (12), an underwater appendage (14), a winch (16), and a cable or rope (18). The cable or rope (18) is at its distal end attached to a remote device (20) with the cable or rope (18) arranged to cooperate with the winch (16) to be deployed and retrieved from the vessel (10) via operation of the winch (16). The underwater appendage is in the form of a keel including a cavity (22) designed to partly locate the winch (16).
The present invention is directed broadly to a marine vessel (10) comprising a deck (12) mounted to a hull (14) together with a sail (16) coupled to the marine vessel (10) via a mast base assembly (18). The mast base assembly (18) comprises a mast tilt assembly (22). The mast base assembly (18) also comprises a mast base mounting (20) to which the mast tilt assembly (22) is pivotally mounted for movement about a tilt axis (24) between stowed and operative positions. The mast base assembly (18) further comprises a sail slew assembly (26) mounted to the sail (16) associated with the marine vessel (10). The sail slew assembly (26) is operatively coupled to the mast tilt assembly (22) for slewing of the sail (16). The sail (16) is rotated or slewed about a slew axis (28) of the mast tilt assembly (22) to reorient the sail (16) relative to the marine vessel (10).
