(I checked several sources, and found the following definitions for “topside:â€Â

“The side of a boat between the waterline and the deck; referring to onto or above deck.â€Â

“On or above a weather deck, a deck wholly exposed to the elements,â€Â

“Above the main deck.

†The part of the ship above water. Generally Used as a way Of saying "on deck" or "up," as in "lay up topside to see the captain,.â€Ââ€Â

“Upper decks.â€Â)

DRAFT: 1) How deep the water must be to float a boat.

2) The belly or chord depth of the sail, its fullness

3) The depth of the boat below the waterline

4) The amount of water the boat draws from the water line to its

extremity below the water line.

5) Beer!
