A type of hull that has a constant deadrise.
The beginner may be confused by old hands learnedly discussing the rival merits of monohedron and warped bottoms, so this matter will be cleared up first.

Then, in the above example, to RPS lying on the equator there corresponds a prism, to those lying outside the equator, a pyramid, and to the polar point, a monohedron.
