🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between list and heel on a vessel • How trim is measured (fore-and-aft, not side-to-side) • Effect of external forces (like wind) versus internal causes (like loading) on vessel attitude

💭 Think About

• Is the vessel leaning side-to-side or bow-to-stern in this situation? • Is the condition caused by an external, temporary force (like wind), or by how the vessel is loaded or ballasted? • Which term specifically refers to fore-and-aft difference in draft, and which terms refer to port-starboard difference?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify whether the drafts differ port vs. starboard or forward vs. aft • Decide if the wind is causing a temporary inclination or if it describes a permanent condition from loading • Eliminate any term that does not describe a change in attitude, but rather the vessel’s ability to stay afloat
