🔍 Key Concepts

• Transverse stability and how it is affected by the height of the center of gravity (G) • What happens to GM (metacentric height) when weight is moved upward in a vessel • The difference between stability, reserve buoyancy, and draft

💭 Think About

• When you move weight from low in the vessel to higher up, what happens to the position of the vessel’s center of gravity? • If the center of gravity moves up, does that make the vessel want to return to upright more easily, or does it make it easier to heel and stay heeled? • Which of the choices (stability, reserve buoyancy, draft) is directly controlled by vertical movement of weight inside the vessel?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you know that stability is largely related to GM (metacentric height), which depends on the relative positions of G and M. • Confirm that reserve buoyancy is mainly about the volume of watertight structure above the waterline, not about where weight is located. • Verify that draft changes are most directly tied to total displacement (total weight of the vessel), not just moving weight up or down within the same vessel.
