Your vessel's drafts are: FWD 14'-11", AFT 15'-09"; 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 angle of list if the center of gravity is shifted 2.0 feet off the centerline.

A
B 12°
C 16°
D 19°
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 12°. To determine the angle of list, we need to use the stability curves in the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book. Given the vessel's drafts and KG, we can locate the appropriate stability curve and find the angle of list when the center of gravity is shifted 2.0 feet off the centerline. Based on the information provided, the correct stability curve indicates that the angle of list would be 12 degrees. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the angle of list based on the provided vessel characteristics and the stability curve data.
