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.

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.

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.
Uboat is a submarine simulator video game, released by Deep Water Studio and being published by PlayWay S.A. The game is inspired by the game mechanics of Fallout Shelter, XCOM, and also the movie Das Boot. Like other submarine simulation games, such as the Silent Hunter series, the player is put in command of a German U-boat during World War II.
Hull design can affect the aesthetics of a sailing yacht. The shape of the bow and stern are significant factors, as is a yacht's sheer line (the curvature of its deck). Bow shapes include the bow (convex curve), destroyer or vertical (near vertical), and knuckle or raked (angled straight to the water line).
