Abstract
A hull for a boat comprises a centrally located V-shaped keel a first strake disposed at an outboard edge of a first deadrise adjacent the keel portion, a second strake disposed at an outboard edge of a second deadrise adjacent a first chine rising from the first strake and a third strake disposed at an outboard edge of a third deadrise wherein the third dead rise is joined to the second chine. At least one of the first, second or third chines is a flat chine, at least one of the first, second or third chines is a reverse chine and at least one of the first, second or third chines is a combination chine wherein the combination chine further comprising a pad superimposed upon a reverse chine.

A hull for a boat comprising a centrally located V-shaped keel portion, a first strake disposed at an outboard edge of a first deadrise adjacent said keel portion, a second strake disposed at an outboard edge of a second deadrise adjacent a first chine joined to said first sake at the outboard corner of said fist strake, a third chine disposed at an outboard edge of a third deadrise joined to a second chine, said second chine joined to said second strake at a chine peak between said second chine and said second strake wherein at least one of said first, second or third chines is a flat chine, at least one of said first, second or third chines is a reverse chine and at least one of said first, second or third chines is a combination chine comprising a pad superimposed upon said reverse chine.
A hull for a boat, said hull having a bow portion, a stern portion and a bottom surface comprising a centrally located keel portion, said bottom surface having at least a first chine, a second chine and a third chine, said chines spaced outboard from said keel, said first chine separated from said keel portion by a first deadrise and a strake, said second chine separated from said first chine by a second deadrise and a strake, said third chine separated from said second chine by a third deadrise, wherein at least one of said chines is a reverse chine, said at least one said reverse chine truncated substantially along the entire length thereof establishing a pad superimposed upon said reverse chine.
A structural combination chine for a boat hull comprising a pad superimposed upon a reverse chine wherein said pad extends along said reverse chine at least a portion of the length of said reverse chine, said pad superimposed upon said reverse chine having a portion of the length of said pad disposed at an angle to said chine thereby establishing a flared portion of said combination chine, said flared portion having a width at a terminal end of said flared portion greater than a width at an apex of said angle of said flared portion.
