Re: AVS - a few bits of interesting info
Part of the 1979 Fastnet Enquiry dealing with stability can be found here: http://www.co32.org/BOAT_SECTION/STORIES/FASTNET_STUFF/fastnet.htm
The Half Tonner (not sure, but I seem to remember that it was based on Grimalkin, on which their were a number of fatalities?) whose stability characteristics were so criticised by the Wolfson Report had an AVS of 117 degrees.
Here is its stability curve alongside the Contessa one: http://www.co32.org/BOAT_SECTION/STORIES/FASTNET_STUFF/intact.htm
