Description
Keep floating! This course is for recreational boaters, sailors, or professional mariners looking to increase their understanding of ship stability principles and how to keep a boat or ship safely stable on the water. In the course we will discuss the key points on a vessel such as the center of gravity and the center of buoyancy, as well as the relationship of righting arm to stability of a vessel. We'll discuss the metacenter and common stability indicators such as GM. In addition, we'll learn about common actions that make stability better or worse on boats. We'll also review certain key elements which often appear on professional examinations including several practice problems and solutions. Using video and whiteboard lectures, this course will give you a better understanding of why ships remain upright in the water, and how they are impacted by shifting weights, wind, and seas. As an end result, you will better understand heeling, listing, and rolling period of vessels as indicators of stability. This course is produced by Practical Navigator Training, an approved Coast Guard maritime training provider in the United States, and the instructor is Capt. Chris Nolan, a licensed mariner and tall ship captain with over 20 years of seagoing experience.
Who this course is for
This course is for recreational boaters as well as junior ship engineers, or any professional mariner looking for a refresher on ship stability.
