Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1,19
Metacentric height 2,9 ft / 0,9 m
Roll period: 13,8 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 74 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0,35
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 1,55

Hull form characteristics:
Hull has rise forward of midbreak,
a normal bow and small transom stern
Block coefficient (normal/deep): 0,535 / 0,553
Length to Beam Ratio: 10,68 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 26,08 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 59 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 48
