🔍 Key Concepts

• Draft vs. mean draft and what each term represents • How forward and after drafts are typically combined for trim and stability calculations • Whether the result of averaging drafts is tied to a specific location on the vessel (e.g., center of flotation) or just a numerical value

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: When you simply average two numbers (forward and after drafts), what are you actually getting— a special type of draft, or just a general numerical average? • Consider how naval architects and stability books normally refer to the average of forward and aft drafts—what standard term is used? • Think about whether the center of flotation’s draft must always equal the simple average of the forward and aft drafts.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the definition of mean draft in your stability or trim reference materials. • Check whether the center of flotation draft is always obtained just by averaging the forward and aft drafts (or if it can differ). • Confirm which option wording best matches the standard terminology used when you take (Fwd + Aft) ÷ 2.
