Abstract
A watercraft with improved safety and stability is provided. The watercraft includes a shell defining a plurality of raceways for receiving water during certain maneuvers of the watercraft, thereby exerting force upon the watercraft in a first direction. The shell is configured so as to prevent or otherwise inhibit the water from exerting an opposed second force upon the watercraft. An intermediate panel of the shell provides increased flexibility, thereby serving as a shock absorber for the watercraft.
