trim. 1. The way in which a ship floats on the water, in relation to its fore-and-aft line. Most ships have trimming tanks so their trim can be adjusted by admitting or pumping out sea water acting as fore-and-aft
ballast. It is also used as a verb to describe the act of flooding or emptying trimming tanks. See also
red tides.
2. Also as a verb, it is the act of setting the sails of a sailing vessel so that they take the best advantage of the wind.
