  "term": "Stiff",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "Describing a vessel that resists heeling or rolling when subjected to external forces, such as wind or waves. This characteristic indicates high initial stability, meaning the ship returns quickly to an upright position after being tilted. A stiff vessel often has a large metacentric height, which can lead to rapid, uncomfortable rolling motions in rough seas.",
