Section 2.3.4 Application of annexes 7 and 8 to monohull and multihull craft

Examination of the righting lever curve will normally reveal whether the craft has stability characteristics most like a monohull or a multihull: the former having a modest metacentric height and angle of maximum righting lever of over about 25°, whereas the latter have a large metacentric height and an angle of maximum righting lever of less than about 25°.
