3. Whether an individual is learning to sail in
anticipation of purchasing a boat or simply has
plans to sail for the weekend, knowing a few
basic nautical terms can be helpful on the open
water. On a boat, the terms bow and stern are
used to describe the front and back of the
vessel, respectively, while port and starboard
refer to the right and left sides when facing the
bow. These four terms are used regardless of
the boat’s direction or the captain’s location.

4. Amidships is another important boating term;
it refers to the center of the ship. Finally,
going topside and going below are shorthand
for moving above or below deck,
respectively, though not all boats feature a
lower deck.
