Demand on High Speed Craft (HSC) is increasing due to development of inland transportation. Therefore, many analysis have been conducted to evaluate performance of this modern ship. One of the important analysis is calm water resistance test. Resistance component of the hull and wave pattern around the hull are obtained from the calm water test. These criteria are important in analyzing flow around hull, especially on wave interference between the hulls. In this paper, flow around hull has been studied for one model of Semi SWATH hull form with fin stabilizers installation by performing calm water resistance test in deep water. The fore fin angle is fixed to zero degree while the aft fin angle is varied to 0, 5 and 15 degree. The effects of fin angle to resistance criteria and flow around hull are investigated. Wave height has been recorded using longitudinal wave probe during resistance test. For each configuration, the investigation is conducted with range of Length Froude Number from 0.34 to 0.69. From the analysis, it is found that flow around the hull of Semi SWATH is affected by fin angle and the effect is various depend on the Froude number.
