The one I have to deal with is a little different to that. Do they come in different sizes then?

Seems there are slight differences between models.

....and 'Boat' and 'Ship'!

An uncle who had spent some time in the navy during the early forties once corrected me when I was describing a ship. Seems in his opinion it had to be over 10k tons to be a ship anything smaller was a boat

Indeed, there is a lot of conjecture on the subject.

One description is that: "In a turn, if a vessel heels inwards , it is a boat and if it heels outwards, it is a ship".

One description is that: "In a sharp turn, if a vessel heels inwards , it is a boat and if it heels outwards, it is a ship".

..........and if it heels right over it is a capsize.

Then you need to define what a "sharp turn" is!

Anyway, I think this one 20230708_Boat_or_Ship.jpeg is a ship as it looks like it is over 10K tons
