Q

Which term defines the difference between the forward and aft drafts?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Trim – how the ship sits in the water between bow and stern • List – leaning to one side due to internal weight distribution • Heel – temporary tilt from external forces like wind or turning

💭 Think About

• Think about which term specifically involves comparing the draft at the bow versus the draft at the stern. • Ask yourself: which term is about fore-and-aft balance, and which are about side-to-side tilt? • Consider whether the condition is usually measured in feet or meters of draft difference, or in degrees of angle.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is defined as the difference between forward and aft drafts (fore-and-aft condition). • Separate the terms that describe side-to-side inclination from the one that describes fore-and-aft balance. • Confirm which condition is normally expressed as a difference in draft rather than an angle of inclination.
