This IS good news/info to know, thanks for sharing Steve.  With this in
hand maybe the Admiral will actually let me turn off the engine put some
sail up when there's wind! :)

Phil, the stability index is 127, the range of positive stability is
0-123 so theoritically our boats could go 33 degrees past horizontal.

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
