camberCurvature of a sail. can buoyCylindrical navigation buoy with a flat top, generally green in color. capsizeTo flip a boat over. capstanA winch used for hauling heavy objects such as anchors.
camber
The curvature of an object such as a sail, keel or deck. Usually used when referring to an objects aerodynamic or hydrodynamic properties.

Camber
Slightly arched form of container-floors to strengthen the construction.
camber - Curvature of either the keel or sail; the deck's curve, usually higher in the center, allowing water runoff. See also "Rocker."
can - A cylindrical buoys; generally red or green.
camber
The arch or slope from side to side of a vessel's weather deck for water drainage. Also known as round of beam. (back)

CAMBER Athwartship curve of the vessel's deck or cabin top. Curve. Sail term: The fore and aft curvature of a sail in relation to its chord. CAT RIG See SAILBOAT RIGS.
CAMBER, ROUND OF BEAM The weather decks of ships are rounded up or arched in an athwartship direction for the purpose of draining any water that may fall on them to the sides of the ship where it can be led overboard through scuppers.
Camber-The arch or slope deck , usually higher in the center so the water can drain off Also known as round of beam
Camel - Hollow vessel of iron, steel or wood, that is filled with water and sunk under a vessel.
Camber: The convex upwards curve of a deck. Also called round up, round down, or round of beam, usually around one-fiftieth of the beam. Not all ships have cambered decks; ships with cambered weather decks and flat internal decks are not uncommon.
The keel (rp6iric) appears to have had considerable camber. Under it was a strong false keel (xDwrua), very necessary for vessels that were constantly drawn up on the shore. Above the keel was the kelson, under which the ribs were fastened.
The roughly horizontal, but cambered structures spanning the hull of the boat are referred to as the "deck". In a ship there are often several, but a boat is unlikely to have more than one.
[citation needed] Because of this, running spinnakers have extreme amounts of camber, making them nearly hemispherical in form. The large camber maximizes the drag.
52, D/L is 194 and draft is a healthy 7 feet, 6 inches. Most cambered transoms get their camber from a section of an arc, but this one takes the camber from a section of an ellipse, and that gives it a little more complexity to the shape.
1) Describes a boat that is not heeling or rolling. 2) Describes a sail with very little draft (camber). To flatten a sail is to pull all its sail controls tight. 3) See calm.

Tumblehome is the reverse of flare. It is the shape of the hull from the gunwale, the upper edge of the side of a boat, to the waterline. The curvature of the deck from beam to beam, or camber, allows water to flow off the deck.
