Talk:Chine (boating)

Great start! The distinction between hard chine, soft chine and multichine hulls is also relevant in kayaking. In a few days I'll see about adding some details. FreplySpang (talk) 22:20, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

That's perfect--I know a lot about plywood sailboats, and I've got a lot of links on the history of chine log construction, so I'll be concentrating on that. Having a kayaker viewpoint will help fill in the holes a lot. Here's my collection of links I'm going to use for source material on hard chine sailing and barge hulls:

Stuff to do

Here's some stuff that needs to be done; feel free to add to the list. scot 18:17, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

• Explore performance issues of hard chines, get references
• Note non-boating uses of chined structures
  • Add link to SR-71#Chines
  • Automotive styling use of chines?
  • Fix image Chine_types.png where chine types B and C look the same —Preceding unsigned comment added by Trippio (talk • contribs) 21:11, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Renaming

I suggest renaming the article to chined and hard-chined hull (see Hull (watercraft) article). Renaming is preferred because flat bottom hulls are also (regular) chined. Better hookup with smooth curve hull-article (still needs creating)

Link to German WP

The link to the respective German WP is misleading; it should read "https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knickspant".
Pls amend. Thanks ––2003:EC:8F10:4800:2CC5:1729:77:1006 (talk) 13:57, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

Merge of Padded V-hull

Minor variant of the common V hull. As we don't have an article on V hulls, this is the nearest. Andy Dingley (talk) 18:32, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

I agree; let's do it (although perhaps a page on V-hulls might be an possibility in due course). This "Chine (boating)" page is a mess! Arrivisto (talk) 11:39, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

Andy Dingley - I've now done the merger. Arrivisto (talk) 18:44, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

Terminology

One section states: "The simplest type of chine construction is the single chine "V" shape, with two flat panels joined at the keel." I have never heard of this usage, and I suggest that it is incorrect. My understanding is that a chine on a boat includes any sharp edge of the side of a hull, but a sharp change of cross-section direction at the keel (which almost all boats have) is not a "chine". Why call a "keel" a "chine"?!

To continue, I disagree with the idea of adding together the chines on both sides plus the keel, such as 3- chine an 5-chine. I consider the correct usage is to say "single-chine" (as in a Graduate dinghy), or "double-chine" (as in an Enterprise dinghy), or multiple chine (where there are more chines).
