2. V-hull (boat) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-hull_(boat)

   A V-hull, is the shape of a boat or ship in which the contours of the hull come in a straight line to the keel. [1] V-hull designs are usually used in smaller boats and are useful in providing space for ballast inside the boat.

3. Hull (watercraft) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hull_(watercraft)

   The deep V form (between 18 and 23 degrees) is only suited to high-powered planing boats. They require more powerful engines to lift the boat onto the plane but give a faster, smoother ride in waves. Displacement chined hulls have more wetted surface area, hence more drag, than an equivalent round-hull form, for any given displacement.

   These include displacement hulls, vee-bottom hulls, modified vee-bottom hulls, deep-vee hulls and trim tabs for vee-bottom hulls. The three main hull materials are wood, reinforced fiberglass and metal. Wood hulls may be made of planks or plywood. Fiberglass hulls are reinforced with balsa wood. Metal hulls are either aluminum or steel. [16]

5. Chine (boating) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chine_(boating)

   A padded V-hull is a hull shape found on both pure race boats and standard recreational craft. A variation of the more common V-hull , which has a V-section throughout the length of the vessel, a padded V-hull has a V-section at the bows and the forward part of the keel which then segues into a flat area typically 0.15 metres (5.9 in) to 0.25 ...

6. Cathedral hull - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathedral_hull

   A cathedral hull, seen from blow, with a simple platform for the rest of the boat. A cathedral hull is a hull shape used in modern boats, usually power-driven. It has sponsons which extend almost as far forward as the main hull. The airspace between the hulls may be very small or nonexistent.

7. 118 WallyPower - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/118_WallyPower

   The hull of the 118 WallyPower is the result of extensive research and development, including tank testing at the SSPA facility in Gothenburg, Sweden, and smoke testing in the Ferrari Wind Tunnel Facility in Maranello, Italy. It is stable at speed as a result of the deep V (22 degrees) hull shape and a straight stem bow designed to pierce waves.
