The choice of a boat's hull depends on the program you are looking for. Today, naval architects are working to design efficient hulls to save fuel. There are three types of hull families: displacement, semi-planing and planing. Each one has its own characteristics and specificities and corresponds to a type of boat, and therefore a program.
Discover in this file, the different types, the opinion of an architect but also the associated hull shapes.
