abstract:A flatbow is a bow with non-recurved, flat, relatively wide limbs that are approximately rectangular in cross-section. Because the limbs are relatively wide, flatbows will usually narrow and become deeper at the handle, with a rounded, non-bending, handle for easier grip.
At 138 feet she's a navy-blue missile with a nearly flat deck, huge winches and an almost impossibly sharp bow that overhangs the water like a scimitar.
