| Yes, please do the inclining test, and have it done well. Here in Newfoundland, the story of the Ryan's Commander is an excellent example of why: It handled well on sea-trials, and did have half an inclining test done; however, a complete inclining test would have shown the appearant initial stability disappeared quickly at higher angles of heel. It sank with loss of life early in its career. The computer simulations are only as good as the data fed them and the fidelity of their calculations.  |
