[MHml] Inclining experiment in air

[Peter Southwood]

Hi Tony,
I am contracted to do some work on a boat which is to be CE registered and 
it needs a lot of drawings and stability calcs, including determination of 
VCG, which is the part with which I have this problem.
See also my other post.
Cheers,
Peter
