Vee Hull with High-Lift Pad: Design, Function, and Performance Benefits #1905191 (License: Personal Use)

This technical illustration depicts a vee hull equipped with a high-lift pad at the stern, designed to reduce drag and improve planing at higher speeds. The deadrise angle-the V-shaped hull’s included angle-is clearly marked, illustrating how it influences lift, stability, and wave-piercing capability. Red arrows indicate upward force generated by the pad during operation.
