What is the upper edge of the side of a boat or ship called?

Gunwale
Cleat
Draft
Beam

The correct answer is: Gunwale

The upper edge of the side of a boat or ship is called the gunwale. This term is commonly used to refer to the top edge of the hull of a boat, which serves to provide structural support and stability. The other options, including cleat, draft, and beam, are different parts or features of a boat or ship. A cleat is a device used to secure ropes on a boat, while draft refers to the depth of the boat's keel in the water. Beam, on the other hand, refers to the width of the boat at its widest point. These terms are not related to the upper edge of the side of a boat, making them incorrect choices for this question.
