2. Length overall - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Length_overall

   Length overall (LOA, o/a, o.a. or oa) is the maximum length of a vessel's hull measured parallel to the waterline. This length is important while docking the ship. It is the most commonly used way of expressing the size of a ship, and is also used for calculating the cost of a marina berth [1] (for example, £2.50 per metre LOA).

3. Anchor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchor

   The ratio of the length of rode to the water depth is known as the scope. Holding ground is the area of sea floor that holds an anchor, and thus the attached ship or boat. [4] Different types of anchor are designed to hold in different types of holding ground. [5]

4. Sea anchor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_anchor

   A conical sea anchor with tripline (from an illustration in The Sailors Handbook by Halsey C. Herreshoff). An early wooden drogue. A sea anchor (also known as a parachute anchor, drift anchor, drift sock, para-anchor or boat brake) is a device that is streamed from a boat in heavy weather. Its purpose is to stabilize the vessel and to limit ...

5. Sail area-displacement ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sail_Area-Displacement_ratio

   The sail area-displacement ratio (SA/D) is a calculation used to express how much sail a boat carries relative to its weight. [1]/ = [() /] = () In the first equation, the denominator in pounds is divided by 64 to convert it to cubic feet (because 1 cubic foot of salt water weights 64 pounds).

6. Ship measurements - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_measurements

   Used mainly to determine the minimum water depth for safe passage of a vessel and to calculate the vessel's displacement (obtained from ship's stability tables) so as to determine the mass of cargo on board. Draft, Air – Air Draft/Draught is the distance from the water line to the highest point on a ship (including antennas) while it is ...

8. Displacement–length ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement–length_ratio

   The displacement–length ratio (DLR or D/L ratio) is a calculation used to express how heavy a boat is relative to its waterline length. [1] DLR was first published in Taylor, David W. (1910). The Speed and Power of Ships: A Manual of Marine Propulsion. John Wiley & Sons. p. 99. [2]
