The forward draft of your ship is 27'-11" and the after draft is 29'-03". The draft amidships is 28'-05". Which is TRUE of your vessel?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Trim (difference between forward and aft drafts) and what it tells you about the ship's attitude • The meaning of hogging vs sagging in terms of midship draft compared to the ends • The difference between list (heel to one side) and fore-and-aft draft changes (trim/hog/sag)

💭 Think About

• First compare the forward and after drafts. Is the ship deeper in the water at the bow or at the stern? What does that say about trim? • Now compare the draft amidships with the drafts at the bow and stern. Is the middle deeper or shallower than the ends? What longitudinal condition does that indicate? • Ask yourself: does any information in this question say anything about port vs starboard draft? If not, which option can you most safely rule out?

✅ Before You Answer

• Carefully compute the difference between forward and aft drafts in inches to understand trim direction. • Compare the midship draft to the average of the forward and aft drafts to decide if the vessel is hogged or sagged. • Confirm that no side-to-side (port/starboard) information is given before considering list.
