OTHER INFO OF CONCERN FOR THIS LISTING SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS/DESCRIPTIVE WORDS:    

The Hickman Sea Sled is an inverted vee planing hull invented by Albert Hickman. The Sea Sled is a direct forerunner of the modern high speed catamaran or tunnel hull. The reduced friction is due to a "trapped" gas film between the hull surface and water. A similar effect is seen in super-cavitating torpedoes where a gas generator creates a film separation to water friction.
