Question:

Please explain Origin Depth and Draft? Why is Origin Depth used when I run the RA command?


Answer:

Origin Depth is the depth of the origin point below the waterplane. Draft is not used in the RA table because draft is measured perpendicular to the baseplane and is therefore useless when the heel angle approaches 90 degrees.
