Your vessel's drafts are: FWD 14'-00", AFT 14'-08"; and the KG is 25.8 feet. Use the selected stability curves in the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the remaining righting arm at 30° inclination if the center of gravity is 1.5 feet off the centerline.

Question

Your vessel's drafts are: FWD 14'-00", AFT 14'-08"; and the KG is 25.8 feet. Use the selected stability curves in the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the remaining righting arm at 30&deg; inclination if the center of gravity is 1.5 feet off the centerline.

Accepted Answer

Option A: 0.6 foot. Identify the appropriate stability curve using the mean draft. Locate the GZ at 30 degrees for the 25.8-foot KG. Apply the correction formula GZ_remaining = GZ_curve - (GG' * cos(theta)). With a 1.5-foot transverse shift, the final remaining righting arm is 0.6 feet.
