As long as the CG (center of gravity) is inboard of the CB (center of buoyancy) then the vessel has a GZ (righting arm) and will return to upright after a roll. If you want to know what the roll of a specific vessel is:
T= .44 x B divided by the square root of the GM.
T= rolling period in seconds.
B= ship's beam
GM= metacentric height
