Correct And Verified Answers
bow - Correct Answer-Front of a vessel
Cleat - Correct Answer-Metal fitting on which a rope can be
fastened
gunwale - Correct Answer-Upper edge of vessel's side (generally
pronounced "gunnel")
Hull - Correct Answer-Body of a vessel
port - Correct Answer-Left side of a vessel
propeller - Correct Answer-Rotates and powers a boat forward or
backward
starboard - Correct Answer-right side of a vessel
stern - Correct Answer-Rear of a vessel
beam - Correct Answer-Maximum width of a vessel
draft - Correct Answer-Depth of water needed to float a vessel
Freeboard - Correct Answer-Distance from water to lowest point of
the boat where water could come on board
keel - Correct Answer-Main centerline (backbone) of a vessel or
the extension of hull that increases stability in the water
Vendarsol
,Displacement Hull - Correct Answer-move through the water by
pushing the water aside and are designed to cut through the water
with very little propulsion
If you lower a boat into the water, some of the water moves out of
the way to adjust for the boat. If you could weigh that displaced
water, you would find it equals the weight of the boat. That weight
is - Correct Answer-the boat's displacement.
Boats with _________ hulls are limited to slower speeds. - Correct
Answer-displacement
A round-bottomed hull shape acts as a ___________________.
Most large cruisers and most sailboats have ___________,
allowing them to travel more smoothly through the water. -
Correct Answer-displacement hulls
Two types of Hulls - Correct Answer-displacement and planing
personal watercraft - Correct 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
planing hulls are - Correct Answer-designed to rise up and glide
on top of the water when enough power is supplied. These boats
may operate like displacement hulls when at rest or at slow
speeds but climb toward the surface of the
water as they move faster.
Boats with ______________can skim along at
high speed, riding almost on top of the water
Vendarsol
, rather than pushing it aside. - Correct
Answer-planing hulls
__________ and vee-bottomed hull shapes act as
planing hulls. - Correct Answer-Flat-bottomed
Most small power-driven vessels, including
___________ have planing hulls, allowing them
to travel more rapidly across the water. -
Correct Answer-personal watercraft (PWC),
and some small sailboats
Displacement Mode: - Correct Answer-A
planing hull, when operated at very slow
speeds, will cut through the water like a
displacement hull.
Plowing Mode: - Correct Answer-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
this mode
Planing Mode: - Correct Answer-enough
power is applied so that the hull glides on top
of the water. Different boats reach planing
mode at different speeds.
