A New Paradigm for Cruising

Finding Limit of Positive Stability

Hi! Is there anyone who could tell me where i could find the angle of limit stability or angle of vanishing for a morgan 382 or a cal 39? Thank you! – Jacques

Hi Jaques: Best bet would be to check with US Sailing and see if they have ever done an IMS certificate on one of these boats. If they have, the stability data will be spelled out for that boat. You will need to keep in mind that sisterships vary somewhat – especially if they have more weight in the rig for roller furlers. – Steve

“The 83ft-long (25m) wave-piercer...could easily be mistaken for the spawn of the Royal Navy with its unpainted battleship grey, all-aluminum body. But that day, in those conditions, it was the only boat that I would have wanted to climb aboard to face the English Channel.” --Motor Boat & Yachting
