Αναφέρεται στη διαμήκη καμπυλότητα του καταστρώματος. Όπου η πλώρη και η πρύμνη χαμηλώνουν σε σχέση με το μέσο του πλοίου.

Sheer: The line of the upper deck when viewed from the side. Normal sheer curves up towards the bow and stern,
Reverse sheer curves down towards the bow and stern. Compound sheer, curving up at the front of the boat and down at the stern, and straight sheer are uncommon.
