225. While transiting a channel your vessel's bow swings away from the bank. What is the term for this effect?
Bank cushion is the correct term; water pressure between the bow and the bank pushes the bow away. Bank suction pulls the stern toward the bank. Yaw describes a vessel's swing, and sheer force relates to course deviation or structural loads, neither of which describe the bow's movement away from a bank.
