Stability Calculation of House Boat

The document summarizes the stability calculation of a house boat. Key parameters like the center of buoyancy, metacenter height, wind force, righting lever and moment are calculated. Assumptions are made that treat the catamaran hull as two cubical barges and consider loads as static. Calculations show that with a metacenter height of 9.59m, wind force of 52291 lbs, and righting moment greater than acting moment, the boat has sufficient stability at a heeling angle of 50 4'.

STABILITY CALCULATION OF HOUSE BOAT

Assumptions Made 1. 2. Catamaran hull is considered as 02 Nos cubical barges for finding centre of Buoyancy. Catamaran hull is considered as a one cubical barge for finding Meta Centre.

3. Wind force is calculated for perpendicularly flowing wind on above water longitudinal profile projected to a longitudinal plane . 4. The boat is considered at a fully ballasted condition with all filled tanks and free surface effect is neglected. 5. All loads on boat are considered as static loads and no shifting loads acting onboard.
