Your vessel's drafts are: FWD 18'-06", AFT 19'-01"; and the KG is 18.2 feet. Use the selected stability curves in the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the righting arm at 35° inclination.

A 1.8 feet
B 3.0 feet
C 4.7 feet
D 5.8 feet
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 5.8 feet. The vessel's drafts and KG (center of gravity) values are used to determine the righting arm at a 35-degree inclination by referencing the stability curves in the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book. Based on the given information, the righting arm at 35 degrees is 5.8 feet, as indicated by the stability curves. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the righting arm value obtained from the stability curves for the provided vessel characteristics.
