Your sailing drafts are: FWD 24'-02", AFT 24'-10" and the GM is 4.6 feet. What will be the angle of list if #6 starboard double bottom (capacity 95 tons, VCG 2.6 feet, and 21 feet off the centerline) is filled with saltwater? (Use the data in Section 1, the blue pages, of the Stability Data Reference Book)

Question

Accepted Answer

Option B: 2&deg;. Ballasting #6 starboard double bottom tank adds 95 tons at 21 feet off centerline. Applying the transverse list formula with a GM of 4.6 feet generates a heeling moment that resolves to an angle of list of 2 degrees per stability reference data.
