149. Which term defines when a vessel is swinging from side to side off course due to quartering seas?
Yawing describes a vessel's heading swinging from side to side, which can be caused by quartering seas. This motion deviates the vessel from its intended course, differentiating it from rolling, which is a tilting motion, broaching, which is a loss of control, and pitchpoling, which is a capsize.
