Vertical Center of Gravity, feet, above Baseline. The is the same VCG (or KG) value that was used for constructing the "Cross Curves of Stability." This value facilitates fast cross checking with the other vessel data.
Vessel Draft, feet. When INPUT =1 put in the mean draft for the condition under evaluation. When INPUT=2 it usually means the level draft is being evaluated. Otherwise it is the LCF draft.

This analysis is based on the dynamic requirements contained in 46 CFR 173.095 (c) through (f). These requirements are an option to the static requirements stated by 46 CFR 173.095 (b). This analysis was prepared in a Windows 95 operating system (or later version) with MathCAD version 6 (or later version).
