2. Scupper - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scupper

   Two scuppers cut into either side of this outdoor stairwell prevent water from building up and making the stairs slippery. A scupper is an opening in the side walls of a vessel or an open-air structure, which allows water to drain instead of pooling within the bulwark or gunwales of a vessel, or within the curbing or walls of a building. Ship's ...

   The grey area indicates the deck of the boat. A dorade box (also called a dorade vent , collector box , cowl vent , or simply a "ventilator") is a type of vent that permits the passage of air in and out of the cabin or engine room of a boat while keeping rain, spray, and sea wash out.

5. Wayfarer (dinghy) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayfarer_(dinghy)

   A version with a self draining cockpit, the Mark II SD, was introduced in 1986. This was especially suitable for boats kept on moorings. However, the buoyancy sealed in the floor increases the inverting tendency and, when righted after a capsize, the trapped water causes instability.

6. Bilge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilge

   Water that does not drain off the side of the deck or through a hole in the hull, which it would typically do via a scupper, instead drains down into the ship into the bilge. This water may be from rough seas, rain, leaks in the hull or stuffing box , or other interior spillage.

7. Bailing (boats) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bailing_(boats)

   For some modern types of dinghies in sailing sports hand bailers can be obsolete when they are equipped with self bailers, sometimes also called automatic bailers. Self-bailing boats are shaped so that they will drain completely if filled with water; powered by the venturi effect and the motion of the boat, they are distinct from the powered bilge pumps used on non-self-bailing boats.
