There isn't anything in the rules about trim, and it's a Springsharp feature.

So, we can build ships 0/100 trim numbers. 
On the other hand, stability , survivability and steadiness are looked upon for the ships capacities in battle ,and afterwards.

Of course, some people argue that with most standard ships (i.e. 90%+) it should be between 40 and 60%. Just to keep it in perspective.

A bit broader was voiced earlier, 30-70%

But yes, if ships needs extreme trim, the beam/draught/BC could be more efficient, unless it's a special case.
