Certification Design Category

A (Ocean):

 Designed for extended voyages where con-

ditions may exceed wind force 8 on the Beaufort scale
(47 mph and above) and significant wave heights of
4 meters (13.12 feet) and above, and vessels largely
self-sufficient.

B (Offshore):

 Designed for offshore voyages where

conditions up to, and including, wind force 8 (39-46
mph) and significant wave heights up to, and
including 4 meters (13.12 feet) may be experienced.

C (Inshore):

 Designed for voyages in coastal waters,

large bays, estuaries, lakes and rivers where conditions
up to, and including, wind force 6 (25-31 mph) and
significant wave heights up to, and including, 2 meters
(6.56 feet) may be experienced.

D (Sheltered waters):

 Designed for voyages on small

lakes, rivers and canals where conditions up to, and
including, wind force 4 (13-18 mph) and   significant
wave heights up to, and including, 0.5 meters (1.64)
feet may be experienced.

The significant wave height is considered to be the
primary factor for determining design category. Other
parameters (e.g. meteorological) are descriptions of
when these wave heights may be  expected to occur.
Refer to page 1-5 for weather  conditions.

The certification plate has listed the maximum rated
power for your boat.  

DO NOT EXCEED THIS

RATING

horsepower and maximum safe engine weight load your
Boston Whaler

®

 boat is rated for.
