Hola a todos. ¿Podrían ayudarme a entender por qué se repite el término ''porpoising'' (cabeceo) en el texto que aparece debajo? Además, utilizan el término ''pitch'' que también significa ''cabeceo''.
Muchas gracias por su ayuda de antemano.




As I said, Series 50 was a low-deadrise hull; probably would’ve been a ball-buster at full size. There was a lot of ''porpoising'' in the model ''porpoising'' being pitch and heave. I suppose one of the virtues of the test was, in fact, the porpoising. The way they docu¬mented it in a given towing-tank run was with a stylus hooked to the model.

"pitch" is the ANGLE of "cabeceo"

"porpoising" is pitching up and down repeatedly (as I understand it)
