In Response To: whats deadrise? (martin)

It's an upward slant of the bottom of the hull on either side of the keel toward the sides of the boat , usually measured at the middle of the boat. Greater deadrise usually means a lower initial stability, but can increase seaworthiness.

Hope this helps...
