An operator must measure the length of their vessel by determining the overall length, which includes the hull from the bow (front) to the stern (rear). This measurement is typically taken along the waterline or deck line, ensuring it accounts for any extensions such as pulpit or swim platforms. Additionally, the measurement should be done in a straight line without any obstructions for accuracy. For regulatory purposes, operators may need to refer to specific guidelines set by maritime authorities regarding how to measure and report vessel length.

An operator must measure the length of their boat from the tip of the bow (front) to the stern (back) in a straight line along the centerline, which is the longest length of the vessel. This measurement should be taken while the boat is on a flat surface, ideally out of the water, to ensure accuracy. Additionally, some regulations may require measuring the overall length, including any extensions like swim platforms or outboard motors, so it's important to check local guidelines.

To determine the time and length of a vessel, you typically need to consider its speed and the distance it needs to travel. The formula used is time = distance ÷ speed. The length of the vessel can refer to its overall size, which is usually measured in meters or feet, and can be found in its specifications or by measuring it directly. If you have specific parameters, you can calculate the required time to traverse a given length at a certain speed.
Fill the 5l vessel. Pour 3l into the 3l vessel. Empty the 3l vessel on the ground. Pour the remainder (2l) into the 3l vessel. Fill the 5l again, and pour as much as you can (1l) into the 3l vessel. There are now 4 liters in the 5 liter vessel.

The coast guard sets regulations for what safety equipment a vessel requires based on length. The vessels operator is responsible for measuring and making sure the appropriate equipment is on board.
When overtaking a power-driven vessel, a sailing vessel operator should ensure they are aware of the other vessel's course and speed. The operator should maintain a safe distance and communicate their intentions if necessary. According to maritime rules, the overtaking vessel must keep clear of the vessel being overtaken, typically passing on the starboard side. Finally, the operator should always be vigilant for any changes in the other vessel's movements to ensure a safe passage.
