Your vessel's drafts are: FWD 16'-08", AFT 17'-06"; and the KG is 23.8 feet. Use the selected stability curves in the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the remaining righting arm at 60° inclination if the center of gravity is 1.7 feet off the centerline.

Question

Your vessel's drafts are: FWD 16'-08", AFT 17'-06"; and the KG is 23.8 feet. Use the selected stability curves in the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the remaining righting arm at 60&deg; inclination if the center of gravity is 1.7 feet off the centerline.

Accepted Answer

Option B: 2.1 feet. Calculate the mean draft and use the KG of 23.8 feet to find the initial righting arm at 60 degrees. Then, subtract the reduction caused by the 1.7-foot off-center KG (GZ_corrected = GZ_initial - GG' * cos(theta)). This accounts for the list and provides the effective righting arm.
