    It must be large enough that Ndelta dominates the stability derivatives such that N is always negative for delta not equal to zero and positive for delta identically equal to zero for the hull geometry and all speeds selected. See PNA, Vol 3, Chpt IX of the 1989 edition.

    Really, your question is far too complex for a simple answer, though there are rules of thumb for given vessel size, shapes, and speeds. For the typical cargo vessel start at ~2% of the lateral area.

    Yup...typically between 2-4%...the upper end on the more slower vessels.
