70% to pass

During an ocean tow when the winds are less than 70 knots, the maximum allowable KG for the COASTAL DRILLER is _______________.

A 38.75 feet
B 42.00 feet
C 44.00 feet
D 65.00 feet
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 65.00 feet. The maximum allowable KG (height of the center of gravity above the keel) for the COASTAL DRILLER during an ocean tow when the winds are less than 70 knots is 65.00 feet. This is based on the stability requirements and regulations set forth by the US Coast Guard for vessels of this type and size operating in these conditions. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the maximum allowable KG for this vessel and scenario as per the relevant Coast Guard regulations and standards.
