: I have released V2.12 that has the unit conversion bug corrected.
: Glen,
: I grabbed a copy of the excellent Kayak Foundry (makes my little utility seem
: lousy in comparison) & noticed the graph given under the 'stability'
: tab is of the righting moment in ft.lbs, not the value of KN which is a
: scalar dimension of ft, inches, meters etc.
: The 'default' hull in KF has a righting moment of 14.94 At a target
: displacement of 250lbs. Is this graph where you are taking your cross
: curve value from for your hull design, as righting moment & cross
: curve vale are not the same thing.
: I cannot find cross curve values mentioned so if you aren't taking it from
: the stability graph, where are you getting it from so I can find it.
: Thanks,
: Phil.
Yes, I used the numbers from the Kayak Foundry stability chart. The design I used shows a BM stability factor of 77.
I guess I used numbers I wasn't supposed to so this software isn't compatible with KF unless I am missing something.
Glen.
