Boat design and hull shapes

Rocker

Also: rocker, bow rise

Rocker describes how much the floor rises towards bow and stern. Lots of rocker makes a boat agile, little rocker makes it track better.

Whitewater packrafts have a clearly rising bow so they glide over waves and holes. Touring boats have less rocker and a longer waterline. For the Revo, Anfibio describes a rising bow and “sophisticated rocker” for good manoeuvrability.
