What with the bridge up front, everytime that thing went towards the water, the heart must skip a beat.

It appears that with enough number crunching guidelines could be developed to help a ship's master avoid the critical combinations of speed, roll period and GM. I see that ABS developed a new "parametric roll class notation" about a year and half ago. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.marinetalk.com/articles-marine-companies/art/First-Parametric-Roll-Class-Notation-ABS00495741IN.html" rel="nofollow">New Parametric Roll Class Notation</a>Rick Spilmanhttp://www.oldsaltblog.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7159156964254464554.post-1829684155639571852010-01-31T12:23:35.840-05:002010-01-31T12:23:35.840-05:00Sweet JeebusSweet JeebusUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01824237364276443637noreply@blogger.com
