White Squall See the movie bob You would suggest a Hollywood movie as having anything credible to contribute to this question? You never cease to amaze me Bob. Reading this about the subject of the movie would be more useful: http://books.google.com/books?id=XHR...um=2&ct=result Sorry, long link. Hope it works. You may have to cut and paste. If it doesn't work, look for the "Read About it Here" link on this page: http://www.rogerlongboats.com/Stability.htm The "Albatross" had just about the same stability characteristics as the "Marques". In the big study I did for ASTA and the Coast Guard, all the vessels we could get data on that hadn't capsized plotted in a group up in the top right hand corner of the graphs. "Albatross", "Marques", and another vessel that had also capsized were down in a group in the lower left with lots of white space in between. There were no other vessels down there that had not capsized. It didn't take a microburst in those cases. When sailing at a normal heel angle with the deckedge about at the waterline, the "Marques" only needed a 22% increase in wind speed to capsize her. "Albatross" was about the same. -- Roger Long |
