  2. Sharpie (boat) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharpie_(boat)

    Phil Bolger designed a rudimentary solution to the problem of hull slap at anchor, which effects flat bottom boats, by making a 3 foot long, oval shaped anti-slap pad of multiple layers of ply about 2 inches deep, which were then rounded into a shallow arc. The noise is the same as chine slap familiar to owners of deep-V powerboats at anchor.

  3. Junk (ship) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junk_(ship)

    The bottom is flat in a river junk with no keel (similar to a sampan), so that the boat relies on a daggerboard, [16] leeboard or very large rudder to prevent the boat from slipping sideways in the water. [17] The internal bulkheads are characteristic of junks, providing interior compartments and strengthening the ship.

  4. Flat-bottomed boat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat-bottomed_boat

    Man piloting a jon boat on the Speed River within Idylwild Park. A flat-bottomed boat is a boat with a shallow draft, two-chined hull, which allows it to be used in shallow bodies of water, such as rivers, because it is less likely to ground. The flat hull also makes the boat more stable in calm water, which is good for hunters and anglers ...

  5. Hull (watercraft) - Wikipedia

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

    The multi-chine hull approximates a curved hull form. It has less drag than a flat-bottom boat. Multi chines are more complex to build but produce a more seaworthy hull form. They are usually displacement hulls. V or arc-bottom chine boats have a V shape between 6° and 23°. This is called the deadrise angle. The flatter shape of a 6-degree ...

    Chined hulls range from simple flat-bottomed boats where the topsides and bottom meet at about 110 degrees (such as banks dories and sharpies) to skiffs where the bottom is arced rather than flat. Multi-chine hulls allow an approximation of a round hull shape. Flat-bottomed hull: flat-bottomed hulls are suitable for canals and non-tidal rivers ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dory_(boat)

    More generally speaking, the dory can be defined as a small boat which has: a flat bottom, with the bottom planks fastened lengthwise (bow to stern). a hull shape defined by the natural curve of a sawn plank (never steam-bent). planks overlapping the stem at the front of the boat and an outer "false" stem covering the hood ends of the planks.

  9. Sail components - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sail_components

    Square sail edges and corners (top), running rigging (bottom) The shape of a sail is defined by its edges and corners in the plane of the sail, laid out on a flat surface. The edges may be curved, either to extend the sail's shape as an airfoil or to define its shape in use.
