🔍 Key Concepts

• Heel is the difference in draft between port and starboard sides, not the absolute change in one side • Initial draft was even keel at 10 feet (same on both sides) • Direction of heel is toward the side with the greater draft

💭 Think About

• Start by writing down the original port and starboard drafts before the gust, then the new drafts after the gust • Calculate how much the draft changed on each side and find the difference between them • Decide which way the vessel is heeling based on which side is deeper in the water

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm you understand that heel is measured as the difference between port and starboard drafts • Make sure you identify which side’s draft increased compared to the original even keel condition • Verify that the direction you choose (port or starboard) matches the side with the greater final draft
