Use the material in Section 1, the blue pages, of the Stability Data Reference Book. If the KG is 22.0 feet, and the drafts are: FWD 23'-06", AFT 24'-03"; at what angle will the vessel lose positive stability?

Correct Answer: Option D — 98°

A lower center of gravity (KG 22.0 feet) combined with the vessel's hydrostatic properties significantly increases the range of stability, resulting in a vanishing angle of 98 degrees.
