Amongst High Speed Performance Marine Vessels, this is one of the unique design proposition; based on the research, facsimile, exploratory and hypothetical study of a genus of large corytophanid lizards also known as basilisks moving on the water surface and on parallel study of the small high speed vessels.enHigh speed marine vesselsVertical take-offHigh speed slamming planing craft (HSSPC).Corytophanids motionArticle
