Eso del "chine" es mas viejo que la madera. Los Optimist, Vaurient, Snipe y la mayoría de los barcos de acero son de Chine Hull, por ejemplo. aunque en estos casos es mas por facilidad de construcción que otra cosa.

Por cierto, alguien sabe como se llama a ese tipo de carena en castellano?

Chine (boating)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A chine in boating refers to a relatively sharp angle in the hull, as compared to the rounded bottoms of most traditional boat hulls. The term hard chine indicates an angle with little rounding, where a soft chine would be more rounded, but still involve the meeting of distinct planes. Chine log construction is a method of building hard chine boat hulls. Hard chines are common in plywood hulls, while soft chines are often found on fiberglass hulls.
