 Abstract

The invention concerns a vessel (1) having a planing surface (2) and a transom (3) at a stern of the vessel, mounted on the transom is an interceptor (4) and an actuator (7) to move the interceptor in vertical direction. In accordance with the invention the transom (3) defines a sharp edge with the planing surface and the underside of the interceptor comprises a convex rounded edge (5) extending upwards to the rear with a leading edge (6) of the convex rounded edge having a tangent approximately parallel to the water flow along the planing surface (2) near the transom (3), and/or the transom (3) defines a convex rounded edge (5) with the planing surface with a leading edge (6) of the convex rounded edge being tangent to the planing surface (2) and the interceptor (4) defines at its lowest part a sharp edge that can move behind the convex rounded edge in vertical direction.
