All vessels need to be buoyant in order to float, and need to be stable in order to stay upright.

This revised edition of RYA Stability & Buoyancy deals with everything relating to these issues and also includes hazards common to most boats, incorporating bad loading and breaking waves; the characteristics of different boat types, i.e. sailing dinghies, small catamarans, offshore and coastal monohull sailing boats; maximum safe heel angle, and a glossary of terms, explaining all the technical jargon.
