Arrangement of Sections
This booklet is arranged in sections so that the most essential items are brought to the user’s attention
first.
This section contains guidance intended to ensure that the level of stability may be judged with
reference to a recommended maximum steady angle of heel to prevent downflooding in gusts and
squalls.
This section shows detailed loading conditions upon which the recommended heeling angles are
based.
This section contains basic information, which is necessary for the calculations in Sections 1 and 2.
Appendices
It is not necessary for the skipper to refer to this part except that the Beaufort Scale and the
metric/imperial conversion table may be found to be useful.

Draughts are referred to the Baseline (USK).
All other vertical locations are also referred to the Baseline.
All longitudinal locations are referred to the FP, 1.594m aft Stem, positive forward, negative aft.
FP is at the intersection of the bow and DWL. The DWL is parallel to the base at 1.880m above.
AP is at the intersection of the underside of the hull aft and the DWL.
Trim is defined as: Draught Aft – Draught Forward

Critical downflooding is deemed to occur when the lower edges of openings having an aggregate
area (in m2) greater than:
Thus item 4 in the list above is not regarded as critical and it is the immersion of the Companionway
Hatch Forward Top Edge (item 2 above * ) which defines the critical downflooding angles referred
to in this booklet.
The master should note that the presence of the vents as listed above significantly reduces the ability
of this vessel to withstand downflooding and with these openings securely closed the safety of the
vessel is enhanced considerably. While the engine air inlet needs to remain open, any extractor vents
from the galley, accommodation and the heads compartments should be closed at sea, except in the
most settled conditions.
All opening portlights and hatches should be closed and locked at sea.

2. Compliance with the stability criteria indicated in this booklet does not ensure immunity
against capsizing regardless of the circumstances or absolve the master from his
responsibilities. Masters should therefore exercise prudence and good seamanship
having regard to the season of the year, experience of the crew, weather forecasts and
navigational zone, and should take appropriate action as to the speed, course and sail
setting warranted by the prevailing conditions.
3. Before a voyage commences care should be taken to ensure that sizeable items of
equipment have been properly stowed to minimize the possibility of both longitudinal
and transverse shifting under the effect of accelerations caused by pitching and rolling, or
in the event of a knockdown to 90 degrees.
4. In adverse weather conditions and when there is the possibility of encountering a severe
gust, squall or large breaking wave, all exposed doors, hatches, skylights, vents, etc.
should be closed and securely fastened to prevent the ingress of water. Storm boards etc.
should be erected and fitted.
5. The amount of sail carried is at the discretion of the Master and his decision will have to
take into account many factors. In assessing the risks of downflooding, the Master
should be guided by Figures 1 and 2.
7. By using the readings from his inclinometer and anemometer a Master is able to
determine the degree of risk of capsize in gusts or squalls which may occur in the
prevailing weather system. He may then decide to shorten sail together with other
actions he considers necessary.
8. Additional care should be taken when sailing with the wind from astern as, in the event
of the vessel broaching or a gust striking the vessel on the beam, the heeling effects of
the wind may be increased to a dangerous level when the preceding heel angle was small.

GUSTING CONDITIONS
When sailing in a steady wind the vessel heels to the angle at which the heeling arm curve intersects
the GZ curve. When struck by a gust the heel angle will increase to the intersection of the gust
heeling arm curve with the GZ curve. The heeling moment increases in proportion to the square of
the apparent wind speed.
Operation of the vessel at a mean heel angle not greater than 39.5 degrees ensures significant
downflooding openings would not be immersed if it were to encounter the strongest gust in the
prevailing turbulent airstream which could exert a heeling moment equal to twice that of the mean
wind. i.e. mean apparent wind has increased in velocity by 1.4.
Note: The 100% consumables (Departure) condition is shown above, as it is the slightly more
onerous one.

MCA Stability Information Booklet Regina Laska
SQUALL CONDITIONS
Curves of maximum steady heel angle indicate the range of mean or steady heel angles beyond
which the vessel will suffer downflooding in the event of a squall.
Operation of the vessel in cyclonic conditions particularly in the hours of darkness, where severe
squalls are imminent requires the recommended maximum steady heel angle to be reduced
depending on the mean apparent wind speed in accordance with the curves presented above.
10
MCA Stability Information Booklet Regina Laska
Examples showing the use of the Maximum Steady Heel Angle Curves
Example A The yacht is reaching, with a steady apparent wind speed of 13 knots. The mean heel
angle is 15 degrees. Forecasts and visible cumulo-nimbus clouds suggest squalls may be imminent.
By plotting the heel angle and wind speed (point A in diagram above) the indication is that the vessel
will be in danger of heeling to the downflooding angle in squalls of 30 knots. In order to increase
safety from downflooding, say, to withstand squalls of up to 45 knots, sails should be handed or
reefed to reduce the mean heel angle to 6.4 degrees (point A’ above) or less.
Example B The yacht is beating in gusty conditions with a mean apparent wind speed of 27 knots.
The mean heel angle is 20 degrees. No squalls are expected. The heel angle is significantly less than
39.5 degrees, the maximum recommended steady heel angle, and there is therefore a good safety
margin against downflooding in a strong gust. Plotting these values of wind speed and heel angle
(point B above) also indicates that the vessel would not be vulnerable to downflooding in a squall
unless it resulted in a wind speed in excess of about 50 knots. There is thus no need to reduce sail
area on the grounds of stability.

N.B. As the tank volumes are not symmetrical about the centreline of the vessel (due to the hot
water and sewage tanks on the starboard side) there is a small difference between the port and
starboard stability characteristics. As heeling to starboard gives the most onerous situation, the
Loading Conditions presented in this booklet are for the vessel heeled to STARBOARD.

To obtain righting arm (GZ) curves at a given displacement, the following equation should be used:
This enables the value of GZ to be calculated at each of the heel angles presented, and subsequently
plotted as in the loading conditions presented herein.

Provided a tank is completely filled with liquid no movement of the liquid is possible and the effect
on the ship’s stability is precisely the same as if the tank contained solid material.
Immediately a quantity of liquid is withdrawn from the tank the situation changes completely and the
stability of the ship is adversely affected by what is known as a “free surface effect”. This adverse
effect on the stability is referred to as a “loss in GM” or as a “virtual rise in VCG” and is calculated
as follows:
Loss in GM due to = Free Surface Inertia (m4) x Density of Liquid in Tank (Tonnes/m3)
Free Surface Effect Displacement of Vessel (Tonnes)
The free surface moments listed in the Tank Capacities Table refer to isolated tanks. If tanks are
cross-coupled the free surface moments will be considerably greater. Cross connection valves
should therefore remain closed when the vessel is at sea.
