Interesting Nautical Terms

Description:

Nautical terms have often leapt out of the realm of seafaring individuals and into the national lexicon and it's not uncommon for regular conversations to include such terms as aft, port, starboard, and land lubber.  But there are a variety of other terms you might hear when staying on a boat. For example, leaning posts are often used in place of standard seating around the helm of a boat. Flank speed is a term used to describe the true maximum speed capable of a boat and is a speed that is generally considered very fuel inefficient.
