Are there any engineers out there who could doodle some rough numbers for me.

I'm curious about how much floatation would be required, at the mast tip to keep a Stiletto 27 from going turtle.

From my college exposure to related topics, I don't think this hard to figure... However, not having continued engineering, I just can't remember how to get that number.

So the question is: Assuming a total loaded boat weight of say, 2,500 lbs. (equally distributed in each hull), a beam width of 14 feet, a mast length of 35 feet, and assuming the bottom hull contains enough floatation to prevent it from sinking further than, say two feet of its 3 foot width.... how much “minimum” positive floatation is necessary, at the mast tip to prevent the boat from going turtle? If moved to the spreaders, how much minimum flotation would be necessary at the spreaders (or half the length of the mast) to prevent a turtle?

Thanks,

Tom
