A vessel trimmed by the stern has a _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) drag.
A vessel trimmed by the stern has a greater drag, as the stern sits deeper in the water compared to the bow. This increased wetted surface area at the stern creates more resistance, or drag, as the vessel moves through the water. The other answer choices do not accurately describe the effect of a stern-heavy trim on a vessel. A list refers to a sideways tilt, a set refers to the direction the vessel drifts, and sheer describes the curve of the vessel's hull, none of which are directly caused by a stern-heavy trim.
