Hard Chine Definition Needed

And then there was the visitor at a boat show who asked a salesperson:
"But is she stiff?"
The salesperson answered, knocking on the hull:
"You bet - this baby's really built!"

 

Yes Sorenfdk! This is why Engineering People and Marketing People are natural enemies. My experiences with marketing people include promised recessed television cabinets that apparently stick through the hull side, 58" Plasma screen tv sets mounted on the aft deck (outside) a 80' cruiser (and one by the hot tub on the flybridge). Propane lockers that are going to leak into the boat, and people being sold 3000lbs of marble,granite and ceramic tile on an 80' planing cruiser for the fwd most compartments. As for interior designers, some of them know what they are doing, and some of them think that they can do anything they want. They particularly like moving bulkheads around and putting all the weight to one side.
