Beam...the widest part of a boat
The beam of a boat is the measured width of the broadest part of a vessel
The beam is the width of the boat at its widest point. If something is 'on the beam' it is to the side of the boat. The more typical nautical expression for this is "abeam" for instance a buoy could be abeam the mast, ie if you drew a line between the buoy and the mast, it would be perpendicular with the line drawn between the front and back of the ship (bow and stern respectively)

The max beam of a boat refers to its widest point across the hull. This measurement is crucial as it impacts the boat’s stability, interior space, and performance in the water. A wider beam generally provides more stability and room for passengers and cargo, while a narrower beam can enhance speed and maneuverability. Understanding a boat's max beam is essential for assessing its suitability for specific activities and conditions.
The length is "stem to stern" or "bow to transom", and the width is "beam to beam".
At the widest point. Think of it this way; "what is the smallest door this boat could fit through?".
