  2. Ship stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_stability

    The higher the angular momentum, the greater the resisting force of the gyro to external torque (in this case more ability to cancel boat roll). A gyroscope has three axes: a spin axis, an input axis, and an output axis. The spin axis is the axis about which the flywheel is spinning and is vertical for a boat gyro.

  3. Metacentric height - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metacentric_height

    In a boat, the equivalent of the spring stiffness is the distance called "GM" or "metacentric height", being the distance between two points: "G" the centre of gravity of the boat and "M", which is a point called the metacentre. Metacentre is determined by the ratio between the inertia resistance of the boat and the volume of the boat. (The ...

    Another version of wind vane self steering on sail boats is known as the vertical axis vane and usually, because of the inferior steering force output compared to servo pendulum devices it makes use of a trim tab hung off the rudder to control the course of the boat. The vane spins at right angles to the ground and can lock to the trim tab in ...
