🔍 Key Concepts

• Trim (difference between forward and after drafts) and what a sagging vs hogging condition looks like • How the draft amidships compares to the average of the forward and after drafts • Relationship between the shape of the ship’s draft curve and where weight is concentrated (middle vs ends)

💭 Think About

• First, calculate the average of the forward and after drafts, then compare it to the draft amidships. Is the ship deeper in the water at midships than this average, or shallower? • Decide whether this condition represents a hogging or sagging hull. Then recall which one results from more weight at the center versus more weight at the ends. • Visualize the ship’s profile: if you load a lot of weight in the middle, what happens to the keel line and the draft at the bow and stern compared to midships?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you correctly convert feet and inches to a consistent unit before averaging. • Double-check the sign of trim (is the stern or bow deeper?) and confirm it doesn’t change the midship comparison. • Confirm whether sagging corresponds to greater immersion (more draft) amidships than the average of the ends, or the opposite.
