Aspect ratio

The aspect ratio of a geometric shape is the ratio of its sizes in different dimensions.

See Beam (nautical) and Aspect ratio

Capsizing

Capsizing or keeling over occurs when a boat or ship is rolled on its side or further by wave action, instability or wind force beyond the angle of positive static stability or it is upside down in the water. Beam (nautical) and Capsizing are Nautical terminology.

See Beam (nautical) and Capsizing

Coracle

A coracle is a small, rounded, lightweight boat of the sort traditionally used in Wales, and also in parts of the western parts of Ireland, particularly the River Boyne, and in Scotland, particularly the River Spey.

See Beam (nautical) and Coracle

Hull (watercraft)

A hull is the watertight body of a ship, boat, submarine, or flying boat. Beam (nautical) and hull (watercraft) are ship measurements.

See Beam (nautical) and Hull (watercraft)

Initial stability

Initial stability or primary stability is the resistance of a boat to small changes in the difference between the vertical forces applied on its two sides.

See Beam (nautical) and Initial stability

Racing shell

In watercraft, a racing shell (also referred to as a fine boat (UK) or simply a shell) is an extremely narrow, and often comparatively long, rowing boat specifically designed for racing or exercise.

See Beam (nautical) and Racing shell

Sailing

Sailing employs the wind—acting on sails, wingsails or kites—to propel a craft on the surface of the water (sailing ship, sailboat, raft, windsurfer, or kitesurfer), on ice (iceboat) or on land (land yacht) over a chosen course, which is often part of a larger plan of navigation.

See Beam (nautical) and Sailing

Seawaymax

A Seawaymax vessel is one of the maximum size that can fit through the canal locks of the St. Lawrence Seaway, linking the inland Great Lakes of North America with the Atlantic Ocean. Beam (nautical) and Seawaymax are ship measurements.

See Beam (nautical) and Seawaymax

Secondary stability

Secondary stability, also known as reserve stability, is a boat or ship's ability to right itself at large angles of heel (lateral tilt), as opposed to primary or initial stability, the boat's tendency to stay laterally upright when tilted to low (http://newboatbuilders.com/docs/stability.pdf The study of initial and secondary stability are part of naval architecture as applied to small watercraft (as distinct from the study of ship stability concerning large ships).

See Beam (nautical) and Secondary stability

Volvo Open 70

The Volvo Open 70 (sometimes referred to as a Volvo Ocean 70) is the former class of racing yachts designed for the Volvo Ocean Race.
