Design categories:
The design categories are as follows:
Design category C : The craft has been designed for voyages where conditions
up to and including wind force 6 (Beaufort scale) may be experienced (a wind
force of approximately 14 metres per second, a significant wave height of 2 metres
or more with a temporary peak wave height of 4 metres). These conditions may
be experienced during voyages on large lakes, estuaries and coastal waters in
moderate weather conditions.
Design category D : The craft has been designed for voyages where conditions
up to and including wind force 6 (Beaufort scale) may be experienced (a significant
wave height of up to 0.3 meters with a temporary peak wave height of 0.5 meters).
These conditions may be experienced during voyages on sheltered lakes, rivers,
and coastal waters in good weather.
NB!
The 'significant wave height' refers to an average height based
on the highest one-third of the wave profile, corresponding
roughly to the wave height observed by an experienced
mariner. Individual waves may be twice as high.
