hooking a chine

English to Hebrew Other Ships, Sailing, Maritime
Avoid making sharp, high-speed turns while improperly trimmed.
Due to the reduced amount of wetted surface (hull in water), sharp,
high-speed turns may result in hooking a chine. This can be
hazardous and may result in injury to the crew or damage to the
boat. If a sharp turn is required, trim the engines in before turning
