Hull
Also: hull
The hull is the load-bearing body of the boat. On a packraft it consists of the air tubes and the floor.
The shape and volume of the hull determine stability, speed, agility and load capacity. Manufacturers often name their hull shapes; Alpacka, for example, distinguishes Classic Hull, Cargo Hull and Whitewater Hull.
