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.

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 26&deg; inclination if the center of gravity is 1.0 foot off center.

Accepted Answer

Option C: 0.8 foot. Calculate the mean draft to select the stability curve. Find the GZ at 26 degrees for the 23.8-foot KG. Apply the correction: GZ_remaining = GZ_curve - (GG' * cos(26)). With a 1.0-foot transverse shift, the remaining righting arm is 0.8 feet.
