NARC 3106 (Stability)
This course develops an understanding of the effect of dynamic
forces on stability and studies in detail methods of assessing
damaged ship stability including computer software applications.
Methods of launching are described and end launch calculations
performed. The student becomes familiar with Loadline and
Tonnage regulations and their application. Throughout, emphasis
is placed on calculations and presentation required by regulatory
agencies.

Grounding; Launching; Freeboard; Tonnage
Prerequisite - NARC 2103 (Ship Stability)
Duration - 13 weeks
Lectures - 3 hours/week
Laboratories - 2 hour/week
NARC 3108 (Boat Design - Composite Structure)
The purpose of this course is to provide the student with a basic
knowledge of the materials, processes and structural details
involved with the construction of composite boats,. This will
enable the selection of suitable materials and fabrication methods
for the design and production of Fibre Reinforced Plastic boat
hulls and decks. The student will be able to determine structural
scantlings and create the appropriate drawings required for
approval by internationally recognized classification societies.
