Sometimes, especially in the

This results in a 'hard

Well Woody, it's a slang term used by crusty old boatbuilders to indicate
that they're entering into a difficult phase (as in "he's doing a stretch of
hard chine"). Some may say no, that's quite wrong; it's a term for the
angled joint between the side and bottom of a boat, or the angled joints
between multiple flat panels forming the side and bottom of the boat.
Either one works for me.

I am fairly new to the whole boat building concept. One term that
baffles me is a chine? What is a chine, or a multichine? I think I
even read the term hard chine?
Thanks in advance.
