Draw - said to indicate how much water a ship needs to float without striking bottom. "She draws 15 feet."
Dutch courage - false courage usually inspired by strong drink. "Oh, he was full of Dutch courage, he was." ...
draw
Draft. The depth of water that a boat requires to stay off the bottom. A vessel "draws" a certain amount of water.

draw - A sail is said to draw when it is filled by the wind. To let draw is to ease up the weather sheet of a sail after it has been hauled to windward, and trim the lee sheet aft.
Draw Bridge Signal - one long blast and three short blasts
Drift - Speed of a current's flow
Drift - The boat movement leeway or sideways, can be speed of the current in knots ...
draft, dr., draw
1) The boat's extreme depth, from her waterline to her lowest point. A boat has 3 feet of draft or draws 3 feet; alternatively, her draft is 3 feet. 2) The fullness or camber of a sail. See chord.

Figure 1: Draw a simple parallelogram like this one to help determine the force and direction of the apparent wind.
Backing and Filling - Alternatively letting the sails draw, then spilling wind so as to keep a vessel more or less in one place until space is available, marking time.
FAIR or FAIR UP To so draw the lines of a vessel that the defined surfaces will show no irregularities throughout their entire extent. To line up the frames of a vessel under construction to their proper position.
Clew - To move of draw (a sail or yard) by means of the clew garnets, clew lines, etc.; esp. to draw up the clews of a square sail to the yard lowering the lower aft corner of a sail.
If you draw a box around the submerged part of the ship, it is the ratio of the box volume occupied by the ship. It gives a sense of how much of the block defined by the Lwl, Bwl & draft (T) is filled by the hull.
If N be the extreme angle of heel, draw Spur parallel to the base, cutting the curve at P, R; and PM, NQ perpendicular. The work done by the wind is the area Osun and is equal to the dynamical stability of the ship or the area Opqn.
To draw on; 3. To throw heave away To cast away, as in heave away a dock line heave in To haul in heave short To haul in on a cable until the vessel is nearly over her anchor heave taut To haul in on a line is taut with strain ...
The immediate effect of this change is to draw out the lines of the boat by adding length to the sheer and adding volume aft for the lazarette.
First, the term "leave" can be understood to mean when one vessel starts to draw away from the path of another vessel. This happens when the vessel crosses the projected path of the other vessel.
You then draw the line from the lighthouse to a. You then lay the parallel rules over the compass on your chart at E. by N., and work them in a similar way to the tree. Then draw the line from the tree to a.
A vessel might sail too close to the wind so that her sails may not draw wind efficiently. Such a vessel will point nearer towards her windward destination, but she will sail slower.
adjust the speed of your craft so that the draw-off and wave disturbance generated by the passage of your craft does not cause injury to persons, erosion of the shoreline or damage to others properties
know and obey Collision Regulations ...
Even what most sailors consider warm water will draw heat away from the body and cause hypothermia quickly. Many life rafts, sold at sailboat equipment stores, also come with a canopy that will protect you from the sun.
Marine engines also benefit from the ability to draw an unlimited supply of cooling water from the environment; this eliminates the need for radiators and cooling fans, lowering complexity and weight.

tender
A powerboat or dinghy used to transport supplies and passengers to and from a larger vessel.
Once you have located your position on the chart you can now draw a straight line between your current position and your final destination.

Excess motion consumes energy and increases loss of body heat.
Draw your knees to your chest and your arms to your sides, protecting the major areas of heat loss.
In that case the compass rose nearest to the object being plotted should be used as the geographic directions and magnetic variations may change slightly in different places on the chart. 2 - A device used to draw circles.
Irish hot-air balloon flight occurred in 1785, the Beauforts were in the crowd-and not long afterwards, Daniel Augustus made and launched a model of the balloon. It caught fire. With an architect for a father, all the children were taught to draw, ...
They do not draw much power and may keep your boat from being hit by another boater who is trying to anchor his boat after dark. I almost hit a boat that had no light on.
