Safety & Environmental Protection (Deck) USCG Question #2584 (Set 78)

Your vessel's drafts are: FWD 24'-06", AFT 25'-04"; and the KG is 17.8 feet. Use the selected stability curves in the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the remaining righting arm at 75° inclination if the center of gravity is 2.5 feet off the centerline.

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — 5.4 feet

Read the baseline righting arm at 75° inclination from the blue pages stability curves. Apply the transverse center of gravity correction ($2.5 \times \sin 75°$) to determine the exact remaining righting arm of 5.4 feet.
