Safety & Environmental Protection (Deck) USCG Question #2585 (Set 78)

Your vessel's drafts are: FWD 18'-09", AFT 20'-05"; 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 righting arm at 26° inclination if the center of gravity is 1.0 foot off center.

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — 0.8 foot

Determine the uncorrected righting arm at 26° inclination using the vessel's displacement and KG. Subtract the transverse moment reduction ($1.0 \times \sin 26°$) to compute the final remaining righting arm of 0.8 foot.
