Analysis for gathered data for various existing vessels are introduced with curves and tables to give an aid for owners and builders in selecting principle dimen-sions for preliminary design stages. Practical.application is given to illu-strate the benifit of the presested analysis and to show the effect of proposed alteration to improve the stability characteristics for a given vessel.
