2. Cable railing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_railing

   For 36” posts or 42" posts, 4 feet of spacing (center to center) is recommended to minimize deflection between the cables when pushing a 4" ball in between two cables. To accommodate such standards, railing projects may incorporate 3 ½" or less of spacing between cables taking into account the cable deflection caused by the posts spacing.

3. Freeboard (nautical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeboard_(nautical)

   In sailing and boating, a vessel's freeboard is the distance from the waterline to the upper deck level, measured at the lowest point of sheer where water can enter the boat or ship. [1] In commercial vessels, the latter criterion measured relative to the ship's load line , regardless of deck arrangements, is the mandated and regulated meaning.

   Length between perpendiculars – The distance between where the forward part cuts the waterline and the rudder post of the ship. Length Overall (LOA) – The maximum length of the ship between the ship's extreme points important for berthing purposes. Length at Waterline (LWL) – The ship's length measured at the waterline

6. Beam (nautical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_(nautical)

   Graphical representation of the dimensions used to describe a ship. Dimension "b" is the beam at waterline.. The beam of a ship is its width at its widest point. The maximum beam (B MAX) is the distance between planes passing through the outer sides of the ship, beam of the hull (B H) only includes permanently fixed parts of the hull, and beam at waterline (B WL) is the maximum width where the ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clearance_(civil_engineering)

   In civil engineering, clearance refers to the difference between the loading gauge and the structure gauge in the case of railroad cars or trams, or the difference between the size of any vehicle and the width/height of doors, the width/height of an overpass or the diameter of a tunnel as well as the air draft under a bridge, the width of a lock or diameter of a tunnel in the case of watercraft.
