Can the Marine Trader owners and afficianados among us help us narrow the selection process by identifying specific models that are worthy of our consideration? With some rationale outlined, please. --Georgs

k a roll period? Increase it by adding weight away from the roll axis." However roll inertia is a double edged sword. Although higher roll inertia slows the roll response it also increases the energy storage, so once the vessel does roll it takes longer to dampen out. In vessels the size we are talking about it is impossible to increase the natural roll frequency to a value higher than the natural frequency of waves, so while you might make it better for one wave frequency it will be worse for longer wave lengths, closer to the new natural roll frequency, and the range of motion will be higher. If your Naval Architect did his job right, he will have optimized the roll inertia for your application. If it is optimized, then anything you do to change it will only make it worse. If your Naval Architect didn't do his job right it will take a better Naval Architect to fix it. I doubt you will improve it for all conditions by trial and errors.
