2. Waterline length - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterline_length

   A vessel's length at the waterline (abbreviated to L.W.L) [1] is the length of a ship or boat at the level where it sits in the water (the waterline). The LWL will be shorter than the length of the boat overall (length overall or LOA) as most boats have bows and stern protrusions that make the LOA greater than the LWL. As a ship becomes more ...

3. Ship measurements - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_measurements

   Used mainly to determine the minimum water depth for safe passage of a vessel and to calculate the vessel's displacement (obtained from ship's stability tables) so as to determine the mass of cargo on board. Draft, Air – Air Draft/Draught is the distance from the water line to the highest point on a ship (including antennas) while it is ...

4. Waterline - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterline

   The load line (also known as Plimsoll line) is the waterline which indicates the legal limit to which a ship may be loaded for specific water types and temperatures in order to safely maintain buoyancy. [2] For vessels with displacement hulls, the hull speed is defined by, among other things, the waterline length.

5. Load line (watercraft) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_line_(watercraft)

   One of these conditions is that the vessel must have a forecastle of at least 0.07 the length of the vessel and of not less than standard height, which is 1.8 m (5 ft 11 in) for a vessel 75 m (246 ft) or less in length and 2.3 m (7 ft 7 in) for a vessel 125 m (410 ft) or more in length with intermediate heights for intermediate lengths. A poop ...

6. Beam (nautical) - Wikipedia

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

   The beam of many monohull vessels can be calculated using the following formula: = + Where LOA is Length OverAll and all lengths are in feet. Some examples: For a standard 27 ft (8.2 m) yacht: the cube root of 27 is 3, 3 squared is 9 plus 1 = 10. The beam of many 27 ft monohulls is 10 ft (3.05 m).

7. Length overall - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Length_overall

   Length overall (LOA, o/a, o.a. or oa) is the maximum length of a vessel's hull measured parallel to the waterline. This length is important while docking the ship. This length is important while docking the ship.

8. Hull (watercraft) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hull_(watercraft)

   Baseline is a level reference line from which vertical distances are measured. Bow is the front part of the hull. Amidships is the middle portion of the vessel in the fore and aft direction. Port is the left side of the vessel when facing the bow from on board. Starboard is the right side of the vessel when facing the bow from on board.

9. Hull speed - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hull_speed

   Hull speed can be calculated by the following formula: where is the length of the waterline in feet, and is the hull speed of the vessel in knots. If the length of waterline is given in metres and desired hull speed in knots, the coefficient is 2.43 kn·m −½.
