    Abstract: A new diamond pentamaran ship model with Wigley-hull form had been investigated with five main
configurations of asymmetric and symmetrical-hull combinations along with three variants of hull separation.
The model has been tested in calm water condition and constant Froude number ranging from 0.39-0.60. The
total resistance coefficient of the symmetric configuration has a distinctive trend from the asymmetrics. Also,
the total resistance coefficent characteristic of the model makes a slight distinction because of transverse
distance variations on the same main configuration. Most of the configurations have negative value of the
interference factor. The study expresses a specific approach of pentamaran resistance characteristic in the
limited froude number range.
