The sailing drafts are: FWD 23'-02", AFT 24'-06" and the GM is 2.8 feet. Use the information in Section 1, the blue pages, of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the available righting arm at 30° inclination.

A 1.3 feet
B 2.5 feet
C 3.2 feet
D 3.7 feet
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 2.5 feet. To determine the available righting arm at 30° inclination, we need to use the stability data from the Stability Data Reference Book. Given the sailing drafts (FWD 23'-02", AFT 24'-06") and the GM (2.8 feet), we can look up the righting arm value in the blue pages section of the reference book for a 30° inclination angle. Based on the provided information, the correct righting arm value is 2.5 feet. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the value given in the reference book for the provided vessel characteristics and inclination angle.
