24
Longitude
Tends to balance the boat, preventing it from pitching
25
Transverse
Tends to keep the boat from rolling over
26
What are the two forces that affect stability?
Static and dynamic
27
Static

29
Free surface effect
The shifting of fuel or water inside the boats bilge can have an affect on stability and handling
30
What is free communication with the sea?
Damage to the hull of the vessel creates free communication with the sea which causes unobstructed movement of seawater into and out of the boat.
