The Maximum Load is the sum of the maximum recommended load plus the total mass of the
various liquids (drinkable or not)
Nota bene: due to the trim and loading of the boat, is it not usually possible to use the whole
of the various tank capacities for fresh water and diesel. It is recommended that you
maintain a diesel reserve of 20%.
Specific information
This vessel has been assessed with the help of the Stability Index (STIX), a measure of overall
safety with regard to stability, which takes into account the effects of the length of the vessel, its
displacement, hull proportions, stability characteristics and its resistance to flooding.
The maximum total load is the sum of the maximum recommended load and the total mass of the
various liquids (see ISO 12217-2: 2002)
The second index (AVS, angle of vanishing stability) represents the heel angle at which stability is
lost, in degrees.
