31. One problem was that when all the guns were on one side, there was little freeboard . 32. A "'breastwork monitor "'was a type of ship originated by freeboard . 33. Later models increased freeboard ( and seaworthiness ) by lashing additional boards to the side of the boat. 34. They displayed prominent " surface-ship " characteristics, notably high freeboard and an expansive deck structure. 35. The reduced freeboard minimized the vessel s vulnerability to gunfire, keeping the steam machinery below the waterline. 36. Ships in this low-freeboard condition are easier to climb aboard and thus easier targets for pirates. 37. "Freeride " and " freestyle " both refer to the way in which a freeboard is used. 38. They have a very low freeboard and are nearly undetectable ( by radar and look-out ). 39. The 1D48 is slender with a low freeboard , has a narrow entry at the bow and flared topsides. 40.
