Question 2623Deck Safety70% to pass
The sailing drafts are: FWD 22'-06", AFT 23'-06" and the GM is 3.3 feet. Use the information in Section 1, the blue pages, of the Stability Data Reference Book, to determine the available righting arm at 22° inclination.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 1.8 feet.
To determine the available righting arm at 22° inclination, we need to use the information provided in the Stability Data Reference Book, Section 1 (the blue pages). Given the sailing drafts of 22'-06" forward and 23'-06" aft, and a GM of 3.3 feet, we can locate the righting arm curve for the corresponding loading condition and read off the righting arm value at 22° of inclination, which is 1.8 feet.
The other options are incorrect because they do not match the righting arm value obtained from the Stability Data Reference Book for the provided vessel characteristics and heel angle.
