Thought I would pass this along for what it is worth.

For a simple symmetrical box type hull 16' long, 2' wide, 200 pounds of 
displacement, CG fixed 1' above the baseline which was at the bottom of the 
boat I got the following from a 5% change in the base boat.

     Righting Arm in feet at 1 degree heel
      Base boat 0.0111
      Cm 0.0112
      CG 0.0119
      Beam 0.0153
      CWP 0.0162


It would be interesting  to see if some one comes up with different 
magnitudes of variation.

Cheers

John Winters
