Your vessel's drafts are: FWD 15'-09", AFT 16'-08"; and the KG is 23.6 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 0.9 foot off the centerline.

A 15°
B 18°
C 21°
D 24°
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 15°. To determine the angle of list, you can use the selected stability curves in the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book. Given the vessel's drafts and KG, you can locate the appropriate curve and find the angle of list when the center of gravity is shifted 0.9 foot off the centerline. Based on the information provided, the correct angle of list is 15°. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the value obtained from the stability curves for the given conditions. Options B, C, and D represent angles of list that are higher than the correct 15° answer.
