SUMMARY
The restoring moment in the context of boat stability is defined as the moment that opposes the tilt of the boat. In the provided discussion, it is established that when a boat tilts clockwise, the restoring moment must act in an anti-clockwise direction to counteract this tilt. Conversely, if the boat were tilting anti-clockwise, the restoring moment would indeed be clockwise. This distinction is crucial for understanding the dynamics of boat stability as illustrated in diagrams 3-46 and 3-48.
