AI Explanation
The correct answer is C. According to the Rules, the length of a vessel is defined as the length overall (LOA), which represents the horizontal distance between the foremost part of the stem and the aftermost part of the stern. In the illustration D086RR, the length of the vessel is represented by the measurement indicated by C. The other options are incorrect because A represents the beam of the vessel, B represents the height of the vessel, and D represents the draft of the vessel, which are not the same as the length of the vessel as defined by the Rules.
