chine - The intersection of the bottom and sides of a flat or v-bottomed boat. A line, running along the side of the boat, where the bottom forms an angle to the side.
Chine:
The angle of intersection between the topsides and the bottom of a boat. In a hard:chined boat this angle is pronounced.
Chock:
A deck fitting to guide an anchor, mooring, towing or docking line. Usually smooth shaped to reduce chafe.
Chines are used in this case to make it easier to build the 445 out of flat sheets of aluminum. There are three chines per side from what I can see in the cryptic drawing. The D/L of this design is 146.
Chined or Hard-chined hulls have at least one pronounced knuckle throughout all or most of their length
After this they can be categorized as: ...

Chock ...
Chine walk- Dangerously uncontrolled, side to side motion associated with high speed operation
Chock - A metal guide attached to the edge of the deck which is used to guide mooring or anchor lines
Claw off - Clear a Lee Shore ...
The Chinese in all probability were the earliest of all peoples to solve the chief problems of boat building, and after their own fashion to work out the art of navigation, which for them has now been set and unchanged for thousands of years.

CHINE - Intersection of sides and bottom of a boat.
CHOCK - A deck fitting to guide a line where it leaves the boat. Also a wedge or bracket to keep articles from shifting.

SETSCREW A machine screw with either a slotted or a square head used to hold a part in place.
FAIRING The process of beveling the stem, chine, sheers, keel, and frames so that the planking will have flat surfaces to glue and fasten to. A "fair" hull is one with no dips or bumps in the longitudinal lines of the hull.
Chine A line, running along the side of the boat, where the bottom forms an angle to the side. Not found on round bottom boats.
Clew For a triangular sail, the aftmost corner.
Coach roof Also trunk.
Chine The location where the deck joins the hull of the boat. Chop Small, steep disorderly waves. Cleat A fitting to which lines can be easily attached. Compass course The course as read on a compass.
Capstan: - the drum-like part of the windlass, which is a machine used for winding in rope, cables or chain connected to an anchor cargo.
Capsize -To turn over.
The side of a block chine The line where the sides of a boat intersect the bottom chock 1. A heavy metal fitting fixed to the deck of a ship through which a line for mooring, towing, or anchor rope is passed.
Chine: The edge between the side of the boat and the bottom; it is called a chine only in boats in which the angle between the two actually forms an angle
Chock: Normally round fitting in the boat to hold the anchor- or mooring rope.
ANTI-TRIP CHINE- A flared out aft section of the side/bottom of the boat. The purpose is to prevent the hard chine of the boat catching a wake or small wave on a sharp turn.
Anemometer- A device that measures wind velocity.
Hard Chine: An abrupt intersection between the hull side and the hull bottom of a boat.
Hawser: A heavy line or cable used for towing, mooring or anchoring.
Head Sea: A sea which is traveling in the opposite direction to that of the boat.
deadrise: the angle at which the bottom rises from where it joins the keep to the turn of the bilge, or chine. deck plate: small fitting set flush with the deck, forming the upper extremity of a piping system.
Red over Green Sailing machine
(or "sailing is keen"). Note that this is the less-used of the two sailboat lighting combinations. Most sailboats identify themselves by the lackof a white masthead light visible to 22.5 degrees abaft the beam.
The stationary hand-powered pulling machine mounted forward on the trailer having a drum around which is wound the winch line attached to the boat.

It is particularly interesting when you realize that two of the earliest fore-and-aft rigs, the lateen sail of the Middle East (Egyptian feluccas and Arabian dhows) and the Chinese junk, ...
If you are fortunate enough to have more advanced (computer-enhanced) radar equipment, your job will be easier; just keep in mind that all aids have their limitations. Do not assume a machine will do your job for you.
Modern boats with a flat bottom have the bottom plate extended beyond the sides by up to one inch (25 mm) to form a so-called wearing chine. This construction also allows a better external weld between the side and bottom plates.
In my judgement the fin is admirably adapted as an adjunct to a racing machine, but for cruising craft I like it not.
