Early steel hulls and many still designed today were of chine or multi chine hull form to give ease of plating. This design provides far more stability than the single chine hull with minimum draft and a large cargo capacity.

This leads to hulls being multi chined giving a blend of soft and hard chines and a combination of their features.

Multi chine hull design.

Multi chines can help to gently break up waves though this generally makes the boat slightly slower in the process just like a lapstrake boat can have a more kindly ride in wavesbut the work done on the waves generally making the boat slower.
The two chine hull b with a flat bottom and nearly vertical sides was the first hard chine design to achieve widespread use.
Single chine hulls are generally only seen on multihull sailboats which often use two deep v shaped hulls connected by akas to provide mutual stability.

Rocker the name rocker comes from the fact that the more rocker a hull has the more likely it is to rock from front bow to back stern.
They have one sharp angle or chine on each side of their hulls.
The original concept produced the centre cockpit una ketch rig to give maximum boat the money wit loa.

To me a multi chine hull is one which consists of narrow flat panels such that the overall effect is that of a shallow arch hull.
As a vessel is lifted less of the hull contacts the water and it becomes laterally unstable.
Of course soft and hard chine are simply the extremes an enormous number of multi chine hull designs fall on the spectrum somewhere between the two.

The multiple chines are simply needed because of the restraint of the flat panels.
I suppose you could call it a multi chine hull since it has a defined keel line and a chine on each side.
This is also known as planning hull.

Multi chine as kayak manufacturers strive to find the perfect balance of primary and secondary stability they often end up producing hulls that are a combination of the four types of hull outlined above.
They have multiple chines with less acute angles.
The lapstrake folkboats were one example when compared to their carvel built cousins.

Multi chine or soft chine kayaks hail from alaskan and canadian waters.
Multi chine hulls allow the cross section of the hull that is exposed to the water to be reduced when the vessel is lifted because of the resistance of water in front of the hull.
An interesting multi chine project as a stock boat featuring two different styles layouts and rigs.

Hard chines originated in the aboriginal skin on frame designs of greenland.
However many such designs produced hulls which were not very seakindly because the designer paid too much attention to the needs of the metal and not enough to the needs of the sea.
I would call a kayak that had just 2 panels per hull half a hard chined boat.

They are equally easy to build although multi chine boats take about 5 hours longer.
