Quadrimaran
A quadrimaran is a four hulled watercraft.[1] Its defining factor is four hulls, placing it within the multihull category. It has one more hull than a trimaran, and one less hull than a pentamaran. Conventional western vessels, by contrast, are monohulls.
Examples
- Roxelane, a 26 m (85 ft) ferry in Martinique.[1]
- Alexander, a prototype 17.5 m (57 ft) quadrimaran[1]
