In commercial vessels, the latter criterion measured relative to the ship's load line, regardless of deck arrangements, is the mandated and regulated meaning.In yachts, a low free board is often found on racing boats, for weight reduction and therefore increased speed. A higher free board will give more room in the cabin, but will increase weight and may compromise speed. A higher free board also helps weather waves and reduce the likelihood of being washed over by full water waves on the weather deck. A low free board boat is susceptible to taking in water in rough seas. Freighter ships and warships use high-free board designs to increase internal volume, which also allows them to satisfy IMO damage stability regulations due to increased reserved buoyancy."@en }
