I think so.

Unfortunately, I don't think KF spits-out the actual KN numbers needed by my calculator, however KF must determine the KN number 'internally' 'coz it's using it to make it's own stability factor calculation.

If I can work out how to extract the KN number from the KF rightimg moment value I'll add it to the allowable inputs of the calculator just for the fun of it, but given KF gives you the stability factor anyway there's no need to use my calculator in the first place.

: Yes, I used the numbers from the Kayak Foundry stability chart. The design I
: used shows a BM stability factor of 77.

: I guess I used numbers I wasn't supposed to so this software isn't compatible
: with KF unless I am missing something.
