In the early stages of design, variations in the ship's form, usually changes in beam or depth, may be used effectively to obtain optimum stability and drafts. Draft can be varied by changes in beam or fullness, and trim can be varied by increasing the fullness at one end of the ship and decreasing it at the other, thus moving the center of buoyancy in the desired direction.
