Hey all

Have my 200T and am making an upgrade soon. Trying to finish my coursework but coming up empty handed for stability. I had to learn stability several years ago but some of the content on the Hawsepipe CD goes over my head. Anyway, where can I find some good book learning on stability? If its on the Hawsepipe CD then it is buried deep.

Thanks

I second rshrew , Stability and Trim is a book every deck officer should have on his or her bookshelf. None of the concepts are difficult, you just have to take them on at a time. Here is a good site from the U.S Navy with the basic concepts.- You should be able to draw the basic stability diagram from memory for starters.
