Objectives
Understanding the stability for a sailing
ship.
Discovering how the parameters are
used during the design.
Difference between types of ship
2 types of stability
Weight stability :
Shape stability :

Dinghy
Equilibrium position :
Dinghy (2)
The crew is a big proportion of the weight.
This weight is moving (trapeze or not), so big righting moment at zero
heel.
Because at big heel angle, the righting moment decreases...
it may happen...
Dinghy (3)
With a trapeze, the righting moment at zero heel is bigger.
Capsize angle is not improved and is smaller than in a cruising ship.
Catamaran
No keel so no weight
Very large
Small draft
Hulls with small volume
So attention to capsize
longitudinaly
10
Catamaran (2)
Very straight at equilibrium (only shape stability)
The angle with the GZ max is small, so even with small heel, a catamaran can
capsize.
11
Catamaran (3)
A capsized catamaran is even more stable than the one in good position
12
Monohull : parameters
2 important parameters :
- the width (for shape stability)
- the weight under the keel (and its position)
Old-fashioned shape : narrow hull
Current shape : wider hull

ISO12217
For pleasure crafts, rules to respect (to have the CE mark) are ISO rules.
For stability, it is the ISO12217.

Keep in mind :
A boat beam on to a breaking wave is in
greatest danger of capsize.
A breaking wave
need only be the
same height as
the beam of the
boat to roll it over.
