This is a somewhat arbitrary location defining the mid-point of the boat. It usually is defined as one-half the distance between the forward end of the waterline to the aft end of the waterline. Since the forward end of the waterline is usually placed at X=0 in the coordinate system, then the amidships position is located at X = LWL/2. This amidships point is important since it is the location where the draft is measured.

The area roughly in the center of the canoe lengthwise.

The area of a vessel midway between the front (the bow) and the rear (the stern). When the term applies to an airplane, it is midway between the nose and the tail.
