I was curious about the actual 'Hull Depth" measurement because when I
applied for documentation I was told to use the distance from the inside of
the cabin top to the cabin sole. The tonnage calculated by USCG is a measure
of interior volume available for cargo not weight, after all.

 

Here are the USCG instructions from the measurement form:

 

 

DEPTH (D) is the vertical distance taken at or near amidships from a line
drawn horizontally through 

the uppermost edges of the skin (outside planking or plating) at the sides
of the hull (excluding the 

cap rail, trunks, cabins and deckhouses, and deck caps) to the outboard face
of the bottom skin of 

the hull, excluding the keel.  If your vessel is designed for sailing and
the interface between the 

"keel" and the "bottom skin of the hull" is not at a clearly defined
location (as is the case with an 

"integral" or "faired" keel), include the keel in the depth measurement.

The hull depth measurement for documetation purposes is not the same as the
draft. The hull depth on my C&C 27 is 6.8 feet, and it's draft is about 5
feet. I think the design draft for my boat is stated as 4 feet

11 inches. Draft is the length below the water line when the boat is
floating. Hull Depth is measured from the toerail down to the bottom of the
fixed keel.
