Question 1959 Deck Safety

The correct answer is A) flare. Flare refers to the outward curvature of the hull above the waterline. This design feature helps to shed water and increase stability. The other answer choices do not accurately describe this specific hull characteristic - tumble home refers to inward curvature, deadrise is the angle of the bottom of the hull, and sheer is the upward curve of the deck from bow to stern.
