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 15° inclination.

Question

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 15&deg; inclination.

Accepted Answer

Option A: 0.7 foot. Calculate the mean draft and apply the KG of 23.8 feet to the stability curves. At 15 degrees, the righting arm is determined. This assessment is necessary to confirm the vessel's stability characteristics are within safe limits as defined by the Stability Data Reference Book and applicable USCG regulations.
