Dead Ahead - Directly in front of the boat.
Dead Astern - Directly behind the boat.
Deck - The top part of a boat above the gunwhale.
Displacement - The weight of water displaced by a floating vessel.
Dock - An area intended for boats to moor.
Draft - The depth of water a boat draws.
Dinette - A small dining area usually consisting of a table and facing bench seats; it can often be converted into a berth.
Dinghy - A tender, either rowed or equipped with power, used to go to and from a larger vessel.
