Bow - answer Front of a vessel
stern - answer Rear of a vessel
Starboard - answer right side of a vessel
port - answer left side of a vessel
hull - answer body of a vessel
gunwale - answer upper edge of vessel's side
cleat - answer metal fitting on which a rope can be fastened
Beam - answer maximum width of a vessel
freeboard - answer Distance from water to lowest point of the boat
where water could come on board
, draft - answer Depth of water needed to float a vessel
propeller - answer Rotates and powers a boat forward or backward
keel - answer Main centerline (backbone) of a vessel or the extension of
hull that increases stability in the water
displacement and planing - answer two types of hulls
personal watercraft (PWC) - answer A small vessel that uses an inboard
jet drive as its primary source of propulsion, and is designed to be
operated by a person or persons sitting, standing, or kneeling on the
vessel rather than inside the vessel
A planing hull, when operated at very slow speeds, will cut through the
water like a displacement hull - answer explain displacement mode
As speed increases, a planing hull will have a raised bow, reducing the
operator's vision and throwing a very large wake. Avoid maintaining a
speed that puts your boat in plowing mode - answer explain plowing
mode
Your boat is in planing mode when enough power is applied so that the
hull glides on top of the water. - answer explain planing mode
