This paper gives a summary of the work performed in the project Advanced FRP Hull Structures for High Speed Craft. The project investigated the use of Kevlar-glass hybrid laminates in a novel Surface Effect Ship (SES), using curved single skin panels. An experimental vessel was designed and built by Kvaerner Mandal a.s. The concept of using curved panels was developed by the Marine Consulting Group (MCG). A drop test model with a curved and flat panel was built to investigate slamming under controlled conditions. Tests were performed at Det Norske Veritas (DNV). Material properties were tested and used as input to finite element calculations to simulate structural response to slamming. An oblique impact test was developed which can be used to compare impact resistance of panels made of various materials. Properties of novel thin laminates were compared with traditional thicker GRP laminates which have not shown significant impact damage in service.
