A ship laid broadside on the regular progressive waves performs heaving, pitching, rolling. swaying, yawing and drifting motion generally. In this paper, making use of the Strip Method, a set of two coupled linear differential equations of the second order for heave and pitch, and a set of three coupled equations for sway, yaw and roll have been developed. Then we measured the amplitudes of heave, pitch, sway, roll and drifting velocity for the ship-model of Todd 60 Series C_b=0.70 at two conditions. The equipment for measuring six motions of ship-model has been used. Then a comparison was made between calculated heaving, pitching, swaying, rolling motions and the results of tank experiments in regular waves. Lastly unstable rolling motion in beam seas was investigated. Main conclusions drawn are as follows. 1. Heaving and Pitching motions can be described with sufficient accuracy by the coupled equations. 2. Yawing motion is negligibly small. 3. The solutions obtained by the uncoupled swaying equation coincide well with the experimental values, and hydrodynamic coupling effects produced by rolling and yawing motions are very small. 4. The roll amplitudes obtained from the two linear coupled equations for roll and sway describe well the experimental results in the neighbourhood of resonant period. 5. When the rolling exciting moment is small, the hydrodynamic coupling moments derived from the swaying motion have great influence upon the rolling motion. 6. The drifting velocity has two maxima at the resonant frequencies for heave and roll. 7. The records of unstable rolling motion caused by quasiharmonic rolling moment have been obtained even in case of small wave height. But in case of irregular waves the unstable roll never appeared.
