Why not look her up in Google -you'll be astonished and embarrassed! First of all, do you even know what you are talking about? I was talking about the Capsize Screening Ratio, devised by a number of naval architects to give a rough comparison of inverted stability or LPOS with only the boats basic dimensions. You mean the formula I just posted? Having given you it's theoretical basis you must now surely accept that it is no more than a rough nmeasure of the true initial stability. No matter what you say or think the maths is simple and shows that I was correct. Second, the LPS and inverted stability are two completely different things. Such profound misconceptions on your part! Doug, inverted stability is _not_ predicted by just the beam and diplacement. If you accept that, then what does the capsize screen really indicate? (Hint: How about a rough indicator of stiffness?) Have you heard of the metacentric radius and do you know how it might related to beam and displacement? Cheers MC |
