Stability Righting lever Boats return to the upright because of an interaction between their weight and buoyancy centre of gravity centre of buoyancy As a boat heels, B moves away from G creating a righting lever called GZ A heavy boat takes more energy to heel because......energy = boat weight (force) x GZ (distance) = RM (righting moment) 3
