The larger the area, the more work required and therefore the vessel will be more stable. There are minimum areas required for: • Area from 0° to 30°, • Area from 0° to 40°, and • Area from 30° to 40°. If there is a vent or weather tight opening submerged at an angle less than 40°, then this 60 70 80 90 100 angle is used instead of 40°. GZf

The angle of vanishing stability is the angle where the vessel will capsize if

The angle of vanishing stability is the angle where the vessel will capsize if it were to heel further.

The vessel has positive stability

GZf Curve 0. 5 GZf is the fluid righting lever. This is the horizontal

GZf Curve 0. 5 GZf is the fluid righting lever. This is the horizontal distance between the two vertical forces Gravity and Buoyancy. The righting lever causes or tends to cause the vessel to return upright when subjected to an external force provided the vessel has positive stability. 0. 4 0. 3 0. 2 GZf (metres) 0. 1 0 0 10 20 30 40 50 -0. 1 -0. 2 Heel (degrees) 60 70 80 90 100 GZf GMf
