Monohull
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Mono-hull)
A monohull is a type of boat having only one hull, unlike multihulled boats which can have two or more individual hulls connected to one another.
This is the most prevalent form of waterborne vessel. It is the most straightforward and intuitive design.
- Keels - Most sailing ships and larger sailboats have deep keels containing ballast which adds horizontal stabilility.
- Displacement hulls - Monohull boats frequently ride deeply in the water, this is known as a displacement hull.
- Planing hulls - Hulls that ride on top of the water are called planing hulls, because when they reach speed, the hulls are substantially lifted above the water; this is known as planing (to plane).
