A deep-drawn, marine hull having a sandwich structure with a cellulose-based core and watercraft utilizing same are provided. The hull includes an outer skin of a fiber-based thermoplastic and having a waterproof outer surface, a first sheet of thermoplastic adhesive, an inner skin of a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic material and having a compartment-defining outer surface, a second sheet of thermoplastic adhesive and a shock absorbing, cellular core of a cellulose-based material and positioned between the skins The skins are bonded to the core by the first and second sheets and by press molding. Cells of the cellular core absorb energy of an impact at the outer surface of the outer skin by deformably crushing. Air trapped within cells which are not completely crushed or punctured by the impact provide the hull with buoyancy to allow the hull to float at the surface of a body of water.

1. A deep-drawn, marine hull comprising: an outer skin of fiber-reinforced thermoplastic material and having a waterproof outer surface;a first sheet of thermoplastic adhesive;an inner skin of fiber-reinforced thermoplastic material and having a compartment-defining outer surface; anda second sheet
1. A deep-drawn, marine hull comprising: an outer skin of fiber-reinforced thermoplastic material and having a waterproof outer surface;a first sheet of thermoplastic adhesive;an inner skin of fiber-reinforced thermoplastic material and having a compartment-defining outer surface; anda second sheet of thermoplastic adhesive;a shock absorbing, cellular core of a cellulose-based material and positioned between the skins wherein the skins are bonded to the core by the first and second sheets and by press molding, wherein the cellular core has a 2-D array of cells, each of the cells having an axis substantially perpendicular to the outer surfaces, wherein thickness of side walls of the hull is substantially uniform to maximize stiffness of the hull, the cells absorbing energy of an impact at the outer surface of the outer skin by deformably crushing, wherein air trapped within cells which are not completely crushed or punctured by the impact provide the hull with buoyancy to allow the hull to float at the surface of a body of water. 2. The hull as claimed in claim 1, wherein the hull forms at least part of a watercraft. 3. The hull as claimed in claim 2, wherein the watercraft is a kayak. 4. The hull as claimed in claim 1, further comprising at least one fastener mounted to the inner skin and capable of fastening or securing one or more objects in the compartment of the hull. 5. The hull as claimed in claim 4, wherein each fastener includes a fastener part having a length and a width and a mounting part mounting the fastener part to the inner skin, the mounting part having a pair of holding faces that oppose each other and define a space therebetween, a portion of the inner skin being positioned in the space in engagement with the faces to prevent the fastener part from moving along its length relative to the inner skin. 6. The hull as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cellular core is a paper honeycomb core. 7. The hull as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cellular core has an open cell structure of the tubular or honeycomb cell type. 8. The hull as claimed in claim 7, wherein the open cells have a diameter in a range of 2 mm to 10 mm. 9. The hull as claimed in claim 1, wherein the thermoplastic adhesive of the sheets is a hot-melt adhesive. 10. The hull as claimed in claim 1, wherein the hull has a thickness in a range of 5 mm to 30 mm. 11. The hull as claimed in claim 1, wherein the core is a paper core. 12. The hull as claimed in claim 1, wherein the core is a cardboard core. 13. The hull as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least one of the skins is a woven skin. 14. A watercraft comprising: a deep-drawn hull section including: an outer skin of fiber-reinforced thermoplastic material and having a waterproof outer surface;a first sheet of a thermoplastic adhesive;an inner skin of a fiber-reinforced material and having a compartment-defining outer surface;a second sheet of thermoplastic adhesive; anda shock absorbing, cellular core of a cellulose-based material and positioned between the skins, wherein the skins are bonded to the core by the first and second sheets and by press molding, wherein the cellular core has a 2-D array of cells, each of the cells having an axis substantially perpendicular to the outer surfaces, wherein thickness of side walls of the hull section is substantially uniform to maximize stiffness of the hull section, the cells absorbing energy of an impact at the outer surface of the outer skin by deformably crushing, wherein air trapped within cells which are not completely crushed or punctured by the impact provide the hull section with buoyancy to allow the watercraft to float at the surface of a body of water; anda deck section bonded or joined to the hull section to form a water-resistant seal between the sections. 15. The watercraft as claimed in claim 14, wherein the watercraft is a kayak. 16. The watercraft as claimed in claim 15, wherein the deck section includes an outer skin, an inner skin and a core of a cellulose-based material and positioned between the skins and having a large number of cavities wherein the skins of the deck section are bonded to the core of the deck section by press molding. 17. The watercraft as claimed in claim 14, further comprising at least one fastener mounted to the outer skin of the deck section and capable of fastening or securing one or more objects on the deck section. 18. The watercraft as claimed in claim 17, wherein each fastener includes a fastener part having a length and a width and a mounting part mounting the fastener part to the outer skin of the deck section; the mounting part having a pair of holding faces that oppose each other and define a space therebetween, a portion of the outer skin being positioned in the space in engagement with the faces to prevent the fastener part from moving along its length relative to the outer skin of the deck section.
