“Stability of Sailing Craft – Investigation of Minimum Stability Requirements for Ballasted, Mono-Hull Sailing Craft”, by Peter van Oossanen, Published in “Schip en Werf de Zee”, Part 1 in December 1994 and Part 2 in April 1995 (ID No. 5097)
This paper presents the results of an investigation of the necessary stability properties of mono-hull sailing yachts for incorporation in ISO standard 12217-2. Specific attention is focused on the development of the so-called Dynamic Stability Factor – the factor that was later to be designated as the Stability Index (STIX).
