Draft

Draft is the vertical distance between the waterline and the lowest point of a yachtโ€™s hull.

What is Draft?

Draft shows how deep a yacht sits in the water. A yacht with a shallow draft can access more areas, while a deeper draft yacht may be more stable in open seas.

Draft is an important specification for navigation and anchoring.

Key points:

  • Shows how deep the yacht sits in water
  • Affects where the yacht can go
  • Important for marinas and anchorages

Example:
A shallow draft yacht can enter smaller bays and marinas.
