| The torpedo tubes were built into the prow, with a high freeboard providing good protection from the waves. |
|
| Once the vessel started planing with a lower freeboard aft the fender would be low enough to bounce on the sea surface. |
|
| For another, the low freeboard of a bass boat could be a lure of the wrong kind when fishing the rivers and billabongs of the Outback. |
|
| Modifications to the hull included increasing the freeboard amidships and flaring the topsides to widen the beam at the weatherdeck. |
|
| So, what we have here is a leaky, criminally overcrowded boat with minimal freeboard hitting a storm, losing power and wallowing wildly. |
|
| In addition, the ironclad had little freeboard, so it was susceptible to being swamped. |
|
| The increased keel weight would have an adverse effect on speed, fuel efficiency, rig safety, freeboard, and safe capacity. |
|
| A canoe caught broadside to big waves and without realistic freeboard can be a big problem especially if the canoe isn't a buoyant. |
|
| It was flush-decked, with a low sheer and a freeboard of no more than six or seven feet, yet that was high enough to make things difficult for a man in the water. |
|
| Bass boats, designed for small lakes and rivers, have very low freeboard. |
|
| While it makes little difference in calm waters, in any sort of sea condition other than calm, the more freeboard you have, the better off you are. |
|
| The boat features a full-length keel with attached rudder, relatively low freeboard, a very handsome sheer and a well-proportioned traditional trunk cabin. |
|
| Melt and percolation through the weak firn layer bring most of the freeboard volume to the melting point. |
|
| It is steep to climb and requires greater physical effort from the pilots, especially when the freeboard is high. |
|
| The forward beams and new centreboard were stepped back and the floats changed with an impressive 1.80 metre freeboard. |
|
| At Rupert dam, the upstream cofferdam has a 2.0-m freeboard and the downstream cofferdam, a 1.5-m freeboard. |
|
| In addition, side scuttles in spaces below the freeboard deck shall be provided with permanently attached deadlights. |
|
| The resultant reduced freeboard aft rendered the vessel highly vulnerable to the shipping of water on deck which culminated in her foundering. |
|
| The lower freeboard, along with the heeling, permitted water to be shipped and retained on deck, causing a detrimental free surface effect. |
|
| In addition to the main gasification reactions taking place in the bed, some may also take place in the freeboard above the bed. |
|
|
|
| This allows ocean wave action around the edges to penetrate the freeboard portion of the berg. |
|
| Cape Island type fishing vessels were originally designed to carry relatively small loads with adequate freeboard. |
|
| In this respect the maximum permissible operating draught is to be regarded in place of the assigned summer freeboard. |
|
| The mate checked the after freeboard again, after which the cargo was run for about one minute at the port side aft. |
|
| Three freeboard dikes close off the tailbay in the upstream section of Ruisseau Caché. |
|
| This heeling, when combined with other factors including free surface effect, an inherently low freeboard, and the possibility of downflooding, may ultimately result in capsizing. |
|
| It is needed because surfaced submarines have limited freeboard, that is, they lie low in the water. |
|
| The ladles used in tank degassing stations are large and, when filled with steel, retain about one metre of freeboard in order to contain the melt during a vigorous boil. |
|
| The combined weight of the shipped water and floodwater from drive shaft bearing leakage and bilge piping syphon effects would reduce the forward freeboard. |
|
| An initial draught survey of the unloaded vessel showed level trim, a mean midship draught of 159 mm, a related lightship weight of 0.89 tonnes, and a mean pontoon freeboard of 298 mm. |
|
| This produced a large heeling moment on both vessels, but because the Cape Jedsue had not started loading, this vessel had sufficient stability and reserve freeboard that the effect was far less pronounced. |
|
| A state-of-the-art lifeboat, the CCGS Cap Percé has a flying bridge allowing better visibility and low freeboard so casualties can be recovered from the water more easily. |
|
| The occurrence vessel was of an earlier Lake Winnipeg Yawl hull design, and was not fitted or retrofitted with optional flotation tanks or the increased freeboard scantlings now available. |
|
| On vessels with a low freeboard, the operator needs to be aware of the existence of water in the bilge and that the bilge pumping system is effectively coping with any ingress of water. |
|
| Malfunction of this pump would result in floodwater being retained on board, causing a reduction of the effective forward freeboard at the start of each water-borne tour. |
|
| Despite these inherent risks, the very high freeboard raises the seaworthiness of these vessels. |
|
| The low freeboard was such that the forward ends of the pontoons became completely submerged by the bow waves generated by the vessel's forward motion. |
|
| However, the vehicle was pumped clear before the start of successive speed trials, such that the cumulative ill effects of these leaks on trim and forward freeboard were minimized for each trial condition. |
|
| The freeboard of each is the same as for non-lifting versions. |
|
| The sump must maintain a 1 meter freeboard at all times. |
|
|
|
| The height and the weight of superstructure on board a ship or a boat also affects the amount of freeboard that such a vessel requires along its sides, down to her waterline. |
|
| The low freeboard would have limited its use to within Poole Harbour. |
|
| If the freeboard is too low, water will enter the boat through waves. |
