Your vessel's drafts are: FWD 24'-06", AFT 25'-04"; and the KG is 22.2 feet. Use the selected stability curves in the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the righting arm at 20° inclination.

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — 1.4 feet

Entering the blue pages stability curves using the vessel's mean draft and the specified KG of 22.2 feet isolates the curve corresponding to the conditions, yielding a 1.4-foot righting arm at 20 degrees inclination.
