The patent application relates to a configuration whereby the skirt of a surface effects vehicle is made up of a plurality of elements which are slanted toward the stern of the vessel. Each element partially rests upon and/or supports the adjacent elements. This configuration reduces skirt drag, cushion leakage, skirt wear, as well as reducing the impact forces transmitted to the vehicle itself.
