  2. Bow (watercraft) - Wikipedia

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

    Bow shapes vary according to the speed of the boat, the seas or waterways being navigated, and the vessel's function. Where sea conditions are likely to promote pitching, it is useful if the bow provides reserve buoyancy; a flared bow (a raked stem with flared topsides) is ideal to reduce the amount of water shipped over the bow.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axe_bow

    Comparison between an axe bow (442) and a conventional bow (441) The axe bow is a wave-piercing type of a ship's bow, characterised by a vertical stem and a relatively long and narrow entry (front hull). The forefoot is deep and the freeboard relatively high, with little flare, so that the bow profile resembles an axe.

  5. Inverted bow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_bow

    The Ulstein X-Bow (or just X-BOW) is an inverted ship's bow designed by Ulstein Group to improve handling in rough seas, and to lower fuel consumption by causing less hydrodynamic drag. [1] It is shaped somewhat like a submarine's bow. [2] Bourbon Orca anchor tug, shown in 2012, was the first ship built with an Ulstein X-Bow in 2006.

    The original panga design was developed by Yamaha as part of a World Bank project circa 1970. [1] [2] [3] Pangas are commonly operated directly off beaches. [4] The name comes from the panga fish, which is commonly netted. The upswept bow of the boat resembles the machete or knife called a panga. Photo of pangas at Tiburón Island by Steve Marlett.

    Watermen use these boats year round for everything from crabbing and oystering to catching fish or eels. Traditionally wooden hulled, the deadrise is characterised by a sharp bow that quickly becomes a flat V shape moving aft along the bottom of the hull. A small cabin structure lies forward and a large open cockpit and work area aft.

  8. Bow shape - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bow_shape

    A decurve bow is a bow that has arms curved or curled at the ends to turn towards the archer. This bow form reduces the strain on the bow when it is used, and the bow may be under no tension at all when strung, so that it can be kept ready for immediate use at all times. It also reduces the energy stored in the bow, and the speed of the arrow.

  9. VR Sports Powerboat Racing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VR_Sports_Powerboat_Racing

    VR Sports Powerboat Racing is a racing game where players choose from 16 craft with different engine sizes and handling. [4] The game utilizes water physics, causing the boats' handling to be affected by turbulence and other boats' wakes. [5] Up to four players are supported via a split screen. [4]
