Ice Boat Hull Structure Design

I am looking for any information on designing hull structures for small air/ice boats, length range from 20' to 35'. Specifically, I am interested in calculating hull pressures imposed from ice conditions, and if there are any standards which would set an ice boat hull apart from a standard hull. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

What is a "small air/ice boat" ??

Do you mean a air cushion hovercraft?

Perhaps a tiny icebreaker

Or maybe a one of these?
