🔍 Key Concepts

• Initial stability (GM) and how raising or lowering weights affects it • Effects of weight shifts versus weight removal/consumption on center of gravity • How free surface effect and sea conditions (following sea, icing) influence stability

💭 Think About

• For each option, ask: does this action move the center of gravity up, down, or sideways, and does that tend to help or hurt stability? • Which option describes a situation where the vessel’s center of gravity ends up lower rather than higher? • Consider which of these situations is usually associated with known stability hazards in seamanship texts (e.g., icing, following seas, free surface).

✅ Before You Answer

• For the boom and weight option, sketch the weight’s position before and after and mark the center of gravity movement. • For the fuel tank option, decide whether using fuel from a fully pressed-up tank introduces free surface effect or removes it. • For the sea and icing options, recall standard guidance: are they normally cautioned as stability dangers in heavy weather seamanship?
