A water-borne vessel for propulsion by incident waves comprises a hull having elongate bow and stern portions having a length greater than its width at its widest point; and a central portion wider than the bow and stern portions. The central portion has a first flared region at the junction with the bow portion and wider than the width of the adjacent region of the bow portion, and a second flared region at the junction with the stern portion and wider than the adjacent region of the stern portion. The central portion being between and wider than the first and second flared regions. The central portion acts to induce the hull to pitch and roll under the action of an incident wave. The vessel further comprises a foil assembly for generating movement of the vessel through the water under the action of an incident wave.
