For anything relating to the 44ft Lifeboats
I have my very own 44ft MLB engineer EN3/MKCS William Collette Ret.
who has very kindly agreed to help you with your engineering questions.
i wonder to know the mlb'44 self-righing criteria at seas
The 44 can take waves up to about 25'. But taking waves that big can damage the boat and the crew. Since the 44 is not the fastest boat around (14 Knots), waves sometimes out- run the boat. Probably the best way to take a wave is headon, as opposed to on the side, which will most likely roll the boat.

the 44' will self right due to it's balaast weights, there are 600 pounds forward and 1400 aft. the 44' is supposed to come back over in 11-15 sec, usually another wave is what will bring it back over.
