Your vessel's drafts are: FWD 24'-06", AFT 25'-08"; and the KG is 22.9 feet. Use the selected stability curves in the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the righting arm at 50° inclination if the center of gravity is 0.5 foot off center.

Question

Your vessel's drafts are: FWD 24'-06", AFT 25'-08"; and the KG is 22.9 feet. Use the selected stability curves in the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the righting arm at 50&deg; inclination if the center of gravity is 0.5 foot off center.

Accepted Answer

Option D: 2.3 feet. Identify the mean draft to select the correct stability curve. Find the GZ at 50 degrees for the 22.9-foot KG. Apply the correction: GZ_remaining = GZ_curve - (GG' * cos(50)). With a 0.5-foot transverse shift, the remaining righting arm is 2.3 feet.
