🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between temporary heel due to an external force and permanent list due to internal weight shift or loading condition • Meaning of trim (difference between forward and aft drafts) versus side‑to‑side draft differences • Relationship between shifting a weight transversely (sideways) and the vessel’s drafts on port and starboard

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: does shifting a weight transversely change the vessel’s drafts fore and aft or port and starboard? Which term matches that? • Consider whether the term you pick usually describes a sideways inclination or a fore‑and‑aft one. • Think about whether the condition from an internal weight shift is normally described as temporary (like a wave or wind) or as a more steady condition.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which term specifically refers to the difference between port and starboard drafts. • Confirm that trim is defined as the difference between forward and aft drafts, not side‑to‑side. • Check whether heel is usually associated with an external heeling moment (like wind on sails) compared to the term for an internal, loading‑related inclination.
