Angle of equilibrium - derived wind heeling arm

The derived wind heeling criterion is used to check that the steady heel angle due to wind
pressure exceeds a certain value. The steady heel arm is derived from a gust of specified
ratio. The wind gust will cause the vessel to heel over to the lesser of a specified heel
angle, angle of the first GZ peak, angle of maximum GZ or the first downflooding angle.
The vessel is assumed to be safe from gusts up to the specified ratio, if the angle of
steady heel is greater than the angle. This means that the lesser of: a specified heel angle,
first peak in GZ curve, angle of maximum GZ or the first downflooding angle, should be
large enough to withstand a gust from a steady wind heeling angle larger than .
