Depth = freeboard + draft.
Length Overall (LOA): The extreme length of the ship.
Length on Waterline (LWL): This is the length at the waterline in the ship's design loaded condition.
Typically has almost no freeboard.
BOAT - A fairly indefinite term. A waterborne vehicle smaller than a ship. One definition is a small craft carried aboard a ship.
NET CAPACITY - The number of tons of cargo which a vessel can carry when loaded in salt water to her summer freeboard marks. Also called cargo carrying capacity, cargo deadweight, useful deadweight.
Notice how compared to the Bavaria the Jeanneau has more freeboard at the bow relative to the freeboard at the transom. The rig is the typical fractional rig with swept spreaders. In this case the chainplates are bolted to the hull outboard.
FREEBOARD - Vertical distance from the lowest part of the deck (or flow-through point in transom) to waterline.
GAFF - Spar which supports the upper side of a fore-and-aft four-sided sail. Also, long-handed hook to bring fish aboard.
- Scope is defined as the ratio of the depth (draft plus freeboard) divided into the length of anchor line paid out. The typical minimum scope is from 3-5 with 7 being the best practical.
1) The angle of the anchor rode to the water's bottom as indicated by the ratio between, on one hand, a) the length of rode paid out and, on the other hand, b) the water's depth plus the freeboard.
A boot top should be about 10 per cent of the depth of overall freeboard; about 3in (75mm) for a yacht in Billy's size bracket. This way, the scum line will fall within it with some measure of tolerance either side.
As the size of ships and the height of the freeboards increased, quarter-rudders became unwieldy and were replaced in Europe by the more sturdy stern-mounted rudders with pintle and gudgeon attachment from the 12th century.
INTERNATIONAL LOAD LINE CERTIFICATE - A certificate which gives details of a ship's freeboards and states that the ship has been surveyed and the appropriate load lines marked on her sides.
The transom is usually squared off and has less freeboard than the bow. In a current, the force of the water can pull the stern under. The boat is also vulnerable to swamping by wave action.
Smaller boats and those with low freeboard should be hauled and stored ashore or put on trailers and transported inland. Boats stored in dry storage racks have shown to be susceptible to damage and should be placed on trailers and moved inland also.
Riverboats are generally of shallow draft, being broad of beam and rather square in plan, with a low freeboard and high topsides.
Overloading - Excessive loading of the vessel causing instability, limited maneuverability, dangerously reduced freeboard, etc.
