Vessel Draft, feet. When INPUT =1 put in the mean draft for the condition under evaluation. When INPUT=2 it usually means the level draft is being evaluated. Otherwise it is the LCF draft.
Vertical Center of Gravity, feet, above Baseline. The is the same VCG (or KG) value that was used for constructing the "Cross Curves of Stability." This value facilitates fast cross checking with the other vessel data.

Downflooding Angle, based on the above draft and the vessel's geometry. Requires the lowest location where the hull begins to flood after all WT openings have been closed for bad weather.

Date: 13 July 2004
This analysis is based on the dynamic weather requirements contained in CFR Title 46 Stability, Subpart E -Special Rules Pertaining to Tugboats and Towboats, 174.140 and 174.145 . This analysis was prepared in a Windows 95 operating system (or later version) with MathCAD version 6 (or later version).

This last column of table below shows Corrected Righting Arms for VCG value.
The formula for representing GZ as a function of theda is derived as follows:
A cubic spline is used to represent the end conditions.
The above function is redefined below in terms of a cubic interpolation function.
This function is graphed on the last page of this analysis.
Determine Angle of Maximum Righting Arm, as per 46 CFR 174.145(b)(2)
Determining Maximum Righting Arm & its Corresponding Angle, Range from Zero to 90 Degrees
The Angle corresponding to maximum righting arm is obtained from the following:
This is the initialization value, feet.
*
Longitudinal Center of Gravity, feet, aft of Midships is positive. For the level trim case this equals the LCB value and it is obtained at the same time as the displacement above.
