c. Beaching condition. This is the condition in which the ship should approach the beach prior to landing. In some
cases of damage to the ship, it may not be possible to attain the exact drafts forward and aft which are indicated; an
effort should be made to approach this condition as closely as possible. The slope of keel has been established as 1 in
50, which is suitable for the average ocean beach. For steeper or more gentle shelving beaches, this value may require
adjustment.
