The good times are a’rolling (for shipyards)
Not sure if you would gain anything with the reverse rake stem. The flat face of the cargo area is quite high up in that particular ship - I don’t think it’s a problem even in head seas…
It’s the flat area UNDER the “face of the cargo area” that is the problem.
With heavy seas hitting under there the slamming could be quite severe.
As the saying goes, “hard slamming can make the filling in your teeth fall out”
Better to avoid that.
Is it? It’s still quite high up and the sharp bow will reduce pitching motions.
High above still water yes, but that sharp bow doesn’t have much buoyancy before the waves reach that flat part.
