A ship hull comprises a main hull portion having a bottom extending along a centerline from a leading edge, having first and second sides and having a top surface and an inclined leading surface. The ship hull further comprises first and second side skegs extending along the first and second sides of the main hull portion from the leading edge thereof, each of the first and second side skegs having outside and inside surfaces and extending to a bottom surface below the leading surface. A foil located between the first and second side skegs extends between first and second ends at a position below the leading surface. The leading surface of the main hull portion joins with the bottom surface of the first and second side skegs at a transition location forming a single continuous bottom surface aft thereof.
