Term
|
Definition
When natural fiber line is under strain, the friction of the fibers, yarns and strands against
each other, causes internal wear
Upon
opening the lay of the line, any presence of a white powdery substance indicates small
particles of line worn off by friction. |

Definition
Damage to internal natural fibers occurs when a line under a strain exceeds 75% of its
breaking strength |

Term
Overloading
or Shock-Loading |
|
Definition
Signs that a line was overloaded are elongation and hardness
If the circumference is reduced by five percent or more, the line
should be replaced.
Another indication of synthetic line overloading is hardness to the touch. This can be
noticed while gently squeezing the line. |

Flare is the outward turn of the hull as the sides of the hull come
up from the waterline. |

Term
|
Definition
Tumble home is the reverse of flare and is the shape of the hull
as it moves out going from the gunwale to the waterline. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
A deck usually curves athwartships, making it higher at the
centerline than at the gunwales so the water flows off the deck.
This curvature is called camber |

Definition
| The sternpost is a vertical extension of the aft end of the keel |

|
Term
|
Definition
The bar keel is popular because its stiffeners protect the boat’s hull plating if the boat grounds on a hard bottom. It also reduces
rolling. A disadvantage of the bar keel is that, because it extends below the bottom of the
boat, it increases the boat’s draft. |
|

Definition
The flat plate keel has a plate that is perpendicular to the centerline of the hull.The vertical center keel is often provided with a flange top so that when combined with the
flat plate keel the section resembles an “I” beam |

Term
Rounded
Cruiser-Type Stern |
|
Definition
The rounded, cruiser-type stern presents less flat surface area for a following sea to push
upon and tends to split the waves of a following sea, allowing it to pass forward along each
side of the boat. Thus, the wave has minimum impact |
