  2. Ship measurements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_measurements

    Beam – A measure of the width of the ship. There are two types: Beam, Overall (BOA), commonly referred to simply as Beam – The overall width of the ship measured at the widest point of the nominal waterline. Beam on Centerline (BOC) – Used for multihull vessels. The BOC for vessels is measured as follows: For a catamaran: the ...

  3. 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.

  4. 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. [2]

  5. 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 ...

  6. 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. It is the most commonly used way of expressing the size of a ship, and is also used for calculating the cost of a marina berth [1] (for example, £2.50 per metre LOA).

  7. Waterline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterline

    Waterline of a ship. The mark above the waterline indicates the Plimsoll line. The waterline is the line where the hull of a ship meets the surface of the water.. A waterline can also refer to any line on a ship's hull that is parallel to the water's surface when the ship is afloat in a level trimmed position.

  8. Hull speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hull_speed

    Hull speed or displacement speed is the speed at which the wavelength of a vessel's bow wave is equal to the waterline length of the vessel. As boat speed increases from rest, the wavelength of the bow wave increases, and usually its crest-to-trough dimension (height) increases as well. When hull speed is exceeded, a vessel in displacement mode ...

  9. Displacement–length ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement–length_ratio

    The displacement–length ratio (DLR or D/L ratio) is a calculation used to express how heavy a boat is relative to its waterline length. [1] DLR was first published in Taylor, David W. (1910). The Speed and Power of Ships: A Manual of Marine Propulsion. John Wiley & Sons. p. 99. [2]
