A vessel's drafts are: FWD 16'-03", AFT 16'-09"; and the KG is 21.3 feet. Use the selected stability curves in the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the angle of list if the center of gravity is shifted 2 feet off the centerline.
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option C — 20°
Entering the blue page stability curves of the Stability Data Reference Book with the vessel's specific draft, displacement, and KG parameters, a 2.0-foot transverse shift of the center of gravity intersects the righting arm curves to indicate a 20-degree equilibrium list.
