Draught or is it drought? I can’t remember.

Two different things!

Draught is another spelling of draft, and is used to refer to the dept of the vessel under the waterline.

Drought is an extended period without sufficient rainfall.

Then theres also draft and drafty if, but then there’s drafters (drawers, but not drawers and definitely not draws (for the southern folks here)).
