The immersed portion of the hull is formed withstraight lines, these meeting with less resistance than curvedones, and being more easily and cheaply constructed, the sidesof the hull are inclined inwards, allowing side-waves to have aneasy passage underneath. In case these straight lines appearunsightly, it is advised that curved lines can be emplovedwith but little detriment. The rudder is capable ofshiftingup or down.
