capsizing moment
heeling moment

The capsizing moment provided by the motorcycle's lean into the corner is in moment equilibrium with the centripetal forces at the ground when all is working correctly.

The mast is in three parts - an aluminium bottom and middle section, with a polyester-fiberglass composite tip to increase mast bend and decrease both overall weight, and the capsizing moment a heavy mast tip can generate.

This opposes the heeling moment of the wind pushing sideways against the boat's sails.

The vessel's heeling moment was exacerbated by the length and angle of the derricks.

The propeller-induced heeling moment is compensated (negligible for larger ships).

By placing the chair on a pivoting arm the heeling moment can be reduced to the level required for any of the hull options.

By sitting on the windward side of the hull, the heeling moment must lift the weight of the crew.

Formula to estimate heeling moments.

Larger (multicrew) monohull kiteboats become possible when heeling moments can be reduced to a manageable level by getting the kites pull down to deck level.

The unstayed masts of the sharpie were flexible and in heavy weather spilled some wind, relieving the heeling moment of the sails to some degree.

Ideally reefing does not only result in a reduced sail area but also in a lower centre of effort from the sails, reducing the heeling moment and keeping the boat more upright.

For a controllable and fast gust response, the mast was carefully tuned to deflect from the top downwards with an increase in wind speed, causing the upper main to twist, reducing the heeling moment.

This suggests that sails that reach higher above the surface can be subject to stronger wind forces that move the centre of effort (CE ) higher above the surface and increase the heeling moment.

Taking into consideration all load conditions according to Article 15.03, section 2, and using a standard arrangement of sails, the heeling moment caused by wind pressure shall not be so high as to exceed a heeling angle of 20°.

The daggers have loads of lift, and can be shortened in a blow - reducing heeling moment. 3. Downwind - both sit well out on windward side and at the back - forget the Wildthing in a blow.

Adding a sail to a narrow hull like a canoe is a dangerous proposition, especially given the lack of dense materials like lead that can be used in a ballasted keel to counter the heeling moment of the sail.

Any heel lesser than this angle will allow the vessel to right itself, while any heel greater than this angle will cause a negative righting moment (or heeling moment) and force the vessel to continue to roll over.

Lexcen's Australia II design featured a reduced waterline length and a short chord winged keel which gave the boat a significant advantage in manoeuvrability and heeling moment (lower ballast center of gravity) but was a significant disadvantage in choppy seas.

The Bruce foil is a foil that provides a lateral resistance with zero heeling moment by placing the foil to either or both of the leeward and the windward sides, angled so the direction of the force passes through the center of effort of the sail.

In a dinghy, raising the centerboard can increase the risk of capsizing during what can be a somewhat violent maneuver, although the opposite is true of a dinghy with a flat, planing hull profile: raising the centerboard reduces heeling moment during the manouevre and so reduces the risk of capsize.
