Seamanship Question #12
Narrow water, shallow with steep banks.
a boat will push water with the bow which will build up a high
pressure or cushion which will force the bow away from the bank.
suction will happen at the stern which will pull the stern into the
bank.
result can be a sharp veer to the opposite bank.
