    The Dellenbaugh angle of a boat was calculated to be 10.20 degrees using a formula involving GMT, LWL, and other measurements. With an LWL of 10m and a Dellenbaugh angle of 10.20 degrees, the boat is considered stiff as it falls below the lower bound shown in a graph. To make the boat less stiff, the GM value could be slightly reduced by increasing the lightship vertical center of gravity.

    Dellenbaugh angle is calculated using formula above and GMT is used in calculation.

    279*[(62.45*6.145)/(6477*1.62)] = 10.20 deg.

    With LWL = 10m and dellenbaugh angle = 10.20 deg, the boat is considered as stiff as it is located
    below the lower bound of the band shown in graph above.
    To be less stiff, the GM value of the boat can be slightly reduced by increasing lightship VCG.
