And if the words "board", "deck" and "bow" do not cause questions even for a passenger, "cockpit" and "transom" have to be googled. We'll take apart the typical yacht structure to understand what the instructor is talking about. Ready to approach the title of skipper? Take a class at https://yapp.pro/ to learn more.

Yachting zones: learn to see the difference between a cabin and a wardroom.
A yacht consists of relaxation and technical areas. It is completely divided into 6 parts: hull, stateroom, cabins, galley, shower area, cockpit and transom. More information about each:

Hull.

The entire arrangement of a yacht is, in one way or another, linked to the hull. It is divided into a board, deck, bow and stern. The material can be fiberglass, wood, steel, aluminum or even reinforced concrete. The latter is a type of reinforced concrete, which is also used for residential construction.

Cabinetry.

In simple terms, the living room or lounge area. Located below the deck. Contains not only space for passengers, skipper and crew, but also many niches for storage. It can also be combined with the galley.

Galley.

A place to prepare food. Cheap yachts either have no galley or its arrangement is very modest - everything consists of a stove with a couple of gas burners. Premium yachts have a galley with a sink, cutting board, cupboards for dishes and even a fridge.

The lavatory and shower area.

As paradoxical as it may sound, the toilet on a yacht is not called a toilet. It is a "lavatory". It is equipped with a special vacu flush pump, which pumps the waste into a separate tank. The shower cabin looks classic.

Cockpit.

The ship's control area. It has one or two steering wheels, navigation system, winches to control the sails, and more. This is where the yacht skipper spends most of his time. In addition, the cockpit is defined as the entire interior of the yacht, if it is not divided into cabins, galleys and other areas.
