"Capsize screens do not not predict LPS and at best suggest initial
stability" means that they do not predict actual stability.

And it's incorrect. The capsize screen has NOTHING to do with 'initial stability.' Period. NOTHING
should be a concept you can understand.




Now, the number given by a screening calc. for a LIMITED RANGE of hull
shape *might* be proportional to initial stability

It is no such thing. Does 'turtled' suggest initial stibility to you? Did you bother to read the
article I gave the link to? Do actual facts ever make any impression on you?


does not mean that
the actual satbility is known and such a simple measure takes no account
of the change in shape of the submerged volume as the boat rolls. This
is a FACT and shows why the LPS cannt be given by a capsize screen type
calculation!

You're really really stretching hard to try and cover your tracks. Why can't you be a man and admit
you're wrong?
