[PUP] Scelenes vs Nordhavns - stability

[John Harris]

Recently the was a comment about positive stability angle, and a question 
about the Nordhavn's.

The data for the Nordhavn 40 shows a positive stability to 145 degrees, I 
don't have the data curve for the 46 or 62 but it is probably a little 
higher.

Key to any boats stability is the integrity of the windows, the N-46 is 
often equipped with 6 storm plates to add to the impact resistance over and 
above the ~12mm glass with a 3/4" center bar.

Certainly any boater that is examining stability curves and large sea 
performance will bolt down all significant interior flying objects because 
at an angle of 145 degrees there will be a lot of things flying around.

Safe boating - good thinking
