Steve,

 

Does that mean we can roll our boats 37 degrees past horizontal and they
will still right themselves?

FYI

 

We all know how stable our boats are and from time to time you will find
references on the net that Catalinas are not blue water boats.   I thought I
would pass along a statistic I just came across in prep for Transpac.   The
ORR (Offshore Racing Rule) has three categories 0, 1, and 2 0 is for the
serious offsore races, Transpac is a category 1 and coastal is category 2.
The minimum stability index for Cat 0 is 120, for Cat. 1 115 and for Cat. 2
it is 110.    Drum roll please........ the Catalina 38 stability index is
127.6
