A wave-piercing hull is a type of ship or boat design characterized by a distinctive bow shape that allows it to effectively cut through waves rather than ride over them. This design typically features a slender, sharp bow that is often sharper and more hydrodynamic than traditional hull forms. The main advantages of wave-piercing hulls include: 1. **Reduced Drag**: By piercing through waves, these hulls can minimize resistance and drag, improving fuel efficiency and speed.
