From: TOBYBOAT@aol.com Date: Sat, 16 Jan 1999 05:17:28 EST To: Trawler WorldSubject: Manatee Stability Figures I have located Mr.Krogens' letter to Mr. Nolan, of Boat US of Sept '93 , and his stability Report of the Manatee. The package totals about 30 pages and is, I feel, to long to post on the list. Contents include: Condition Sheets at Half and Full Load Intact Stability - Plot of Righting Arms, 1/2 load and at 1/2 load corrected for free surface, USCG Small Passenger Vessel Stability Criteria-46 CFR Ch1-171.020 &.030 HYDROSTATICS. TANK TABLES APPENDICES: Stability Test Data Hydrostatics as Inclined SHCP Intact Stability Output to Bulwark SHCP Stability Output to Cockpit Sole Stability Criteria IMO A / ES. IV / Res 167 Mr. Krogens letter states that these figures were run with a boat that "carried a 10 foot fiberglass dinghy and that the inclining experiment resulted in a GM of 4.63 ft.and 4.61 ft. in the half and full load conditions respectively " I will be glad to copy the whole lot and send em to who ever wants em. I figure about 5 / 6 bucks should almost cover the costs of copying, postage, etc. Contact me privately should you want one of your very own. My Dis - Disclaimer -- I have a hoped for fiduciary relationship to this get rich quick scheme -- and pledge any and all profits will be spent on horses, women drink and golf -- not necessarily in that order.
