Excerpt from A Manual of Yacht and Boat Sailing Thus the displacement of a vessel is always equal to her own weight, including everything and everybody on board; and, providing that the bulk or size of the body of water displaced. Is smaller than the bulk or size of the vessel (regarding her from deck to keel), then a portion of the vessel will always be above the surface of the water, and this portion of a vessel is called her freeboard, and sometimes surplus buoyancy.
