Starting in 1996, Alexa Internet has been donating their crawl data to the Internet Archive. Flowing in every day, these data are added to the Wayback Machine after an embargo period.
Specific references required are normally stated in the electronic
worksheets.
Read the articles "Understanding
Stability" and "Understanding
Trim" to get a foundational understanding of how to use many of
these templates. This article describes fundamental concepts that
must be grasped for doing effective stability calculations. It
cover's the vessel's weight contribution, the vessel's shape
(hydrostatic) contribution and how to tie these two sets of input
together for determining transverse stability. The article is for
transverse stability but the concepts do carry over into longitudinal
stability.
The following are some
general references that are
recommended for background preparation.

Recommended Marine Software
Hullform,
Blue Peter Marine Systems, Pty. This firm offers reasonable
priced software that generates data for Curves of Form, Cross Curves of
Stability and Curves of Statical Stability. It also can be
used to design hull shapes, calculate powering requirements, generate hull expansions and for many other things. There is a
9S version for students
it is free. Hullform 9S works in Win
95+ and in Linux. Output from this
program can be input directly into Hawaii Marine Templates.
This Hullform software is user friendly and
has a lot of bells and whistles.
