Which outcome occurs if a shipwright alters the deadrise angle of a 17th-century sailing vessel during construction?

💡 Explanation

Decreasing deadrise increases initial stability up to a point BUT reduces ultimate stability; because the center of buoyancy shifts less for small angles, roll instability occurs therefore, rather than benefitial resistance, especially compared to sharper angles built historically.
