- Q341 - Deck Safety
202. What is the purpose of sheer in the construction of the vessel?
Sheer is the upward curvature of a ship's deck, increasing freeboard and allowing the vessel to ride waves with drier decks. This design feature enhances seaworthiness and is not a substitute for structural elements like butt straps, margin plates, or deck edge reinforcements.
