The total resistance of four different types of catamaran hull forms, which include the flat bottom, single chine, multi chine and the round bilge hull forms are presented and discussed in this paper. With the aid of Maxsurf software, the four catamaran hull forms were designed with the same principal dimensions, wetted surface area and the block coefficient. Maxsurf was then used to calculate the total resistance results of the four hull forms that lay in congruence to the displacement and semi-displacement speed range of Froude number (Fn) between 0.2 to 0.7. Also, three variations of the catamaran hull spacing parameter are also presented in this research to study the effect of an increasing separation to length ratio, S/L, on its total resistance. Discussions are made to evaluate for every result that was presented in this paper.
