It is hard to say. Every one developes at different times,don't be to fussd about it everyone should love their body no matter what.

NO.

There is ONLY one legal Plimsoll Line, the International load line, which is a marking on a ship's side showing the limit of legal submersion when loaded with cargo under various sea conditions.

However, depending on the temperature and salinity of the water on which the ship is floating the position of this line (which represents the weight of water displaced by the hull) will vary. So the line is graduated into:-

The American Bureau of Shipping (AB) Line/ Summer Load line (S)

The Tropical Freshwater (TF) line

The freshwater Load line (F)

The tropical Zones load line (T)

The Winter Load Line (W)

Winter North Atlantic Load Line (WNA)

Thus if a ship were loaded to the TF line in tropical Freshwater then moved to the North Atlantic in winter with the same cargo loaded, it should float at the correct line in both conditions.

The general rule is powerboats give way to sailboats, as sailing craft are generally less maneuverable.

stay the same

Always know your surroundings and heed any warnings of the buoys in the area. Best to obtain a chart of the water that you are boating upon so that you will know where the shoals are and avoid running aground.

They would use it to know when the tides are in and out, which could be important for them when they are planning a journey. If they are going into a port with a large boat and the tide was too low, they could run aground. If they are trying to launch a boat from land, they would want a high tide to make it easier. There are lots of other reasons why they would want to know what the tides are at, so the tidal tables would be important for them.

Before beginning a long outing on eh water, always tell someone who is NT going with you where you intend to be, and when.

To not get in the way of the stand-to vessel.

Did not check for local hazards prior to launching
