"V-bottomed hulls (also known as deadrise hulls) are more seakindly and far less prone to pounding. Although more often associated with powerboats, they are suitable for a wide range of sailboats, from small plywood dinghies to large seagoing vessels built of steel or aluminum. Fast-planing powerboat hulls often combine a deep V at the bow (i.e., 26 degrees or so of upward slope as seen in section view) to minimize pounding with a much shallower V at the transom (say, 10 to 18 degrees) to facilitate planing. These modified V-bottoms are often called warped-plane or variable-deadrise hulls"
