The capsize screening formula (CSF) is a controversial method of establishing the ability of boats to resist capsizing. It is defined for sailboats as: Beam / ((Displacement/64.2) 1/3), with Displacement measured in pounds, and Beam in feet. A lower figure supposedly indicates greater stability, however the calculation does not consider factors ...
The Roman ship Isis was a very large ship that operated on the Mediterranean during the Roman Empire around 150 AD, carrying grain from Egypt to Italy.The Isis was apparently 55 meters (180 feet) long and had a beam of 13.7 meters (45 feet).
Graphical representation of the dimensions used to describe a ship. Dimension "b" is the beam at waterline.. The beam of a ship is its width at its widest point. The maximum beam (B MAX) is the distance between planes passing through the outer sides of the ship, beam of the hull (B H) only includes permanently fixed parts of the hull, and beam at waterline (B WL) is the maximum width where the ...
Depending on the angle of the true wind with respect to the course sailed, a reach may be close, beam, or broad, as follows: A close reach is a course closer to the true wind (more upwindwards) than a beam reach, but below close-hauled; i.e., any angle between a beam reach and close-hauled. The sails are trimmed in (hauled towards the ...

Another more restrictive proposal, authored by Sen. Andres Jacque (R-De Pere), would have prohibited wake surfing on a lake smaller than 1,500 acres, required wake-enhanced boats to operate at ...
The I-class ships were improved versions of the preceding H-class.They displaced 1,370 long tons (1,390 t) at standard load and 1,888 long tons (1,918 t) at deep load.The ships had an overall length of 323 feet (98.5 m), a beam of 33 feet (10.1 m) and a draught of 12 feet 6 inches (3.8 m).
