The use of flare throughout the hull' s length provides greater waterplane area for greater immersion, and this slows down the rate of loss of metacentric height compared to the normal wall-sided ship and provides greater protection against capsizing.  4, record 1, English, - loss%20of%20metacentric%20height

The distance between G and M is known as the metacentric height(GM). A stable vessel when upright is said to have a positive metacentric height(GM), i. e. when the metacentre(M) is found to be above the centre of gravity(G).  4, record 2, English, - metacentric%20height

La distance entre G et M est nommée hauteur métacentrique (GM). Un bateau est stable, en position droite s'il a une hauteur métacentrique positive (GM), c'est-à-dire lorsque le métacentre (M) se trouve au-dessus du centre de gravité (G).  5, record 2, French, - hauteur%20m%C3%A9tacentrique

La distancia entre G y M se conoce como la altura metacéntrica (GM). Un buque estable en posición de adrizado tiene una altura metacéntrica (GM) positiva, es decir, el metacentro (M) se encuentra por encima del centro de gravedad (G).  2, record 2, Spanish, - altura%20metac%C3%A9ntrica

On dit qu’un navire a une stabilité négative (angle de gîte permanente) lorsqu’il est instable à la verticale en raison d’une hauteur métacentrique (GM) négative, mais qu’il devient stable à un certain angle d’inclinaison.  2, record 3, French, - angle%20de%20g%C3%AEte%20permanente

Ces compartiments sont généralement disposés dans les fonds [...]. Cependant, cette position au point le plus bas du navire peut conduire à une stabilité initiale trop importante; aussi quelques navires sont-ils munis de compartiments disposés en abord, dans les cales et quelquefois même dans les faux-ponts, permettant de faire remonter la position du centre de gravité de l'ensemble des poids du navire.  1, record 4, French, - stabilit%C3%A9%20initiale

Record 5,  Textual support,  English

Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 CONT

A vessel is said to be tender when its center of gravity is too high, giving it too small a metacentric height, with resulting insufficient statical stability. This condition makes a vessel top-heavy and is conducive to capsizing. Small off-center weights will cause the vessel to list considerably under these conditions.  2, record 5, English, - tender

Stiff. The power or ability of a vessel to offer resistance to inclination from the upright caused by external forces. Large metacentric height induces stiffness, a condition which causes quick, "snappy" rolling in disturbed waters.  1, record 6, English, - stiff
