SEA /BRIEF
(Requires GHS with SK)

John Bonn is a talker. He'll tell you everything you ever wanted to know about his camping trip with his son-in-law. However, when it comes to seakeeping reports, he's the first one to complain about how awfully long-winded they are.

We tried to tell John that there are reasons we include all of that information. He says it just isn't necessary.

Despite our differences, we do agree that sometimes it is nice to have as short a report as possible. Say you are interested in the response at a particular Critical Point? You've already reviewed the RAOs, perhaps having done seakeeping work on this hull before, so you are confident in your calculations. You likely just want to cut to the chase and get some numbers.

SEA /BRIEF /NOPLOT /SUM is the sequence of parameters for you. No plots. All RAOs on a single page. A summary table at the end. Three pages total.
