exceeds the applicable current International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
standards and directives as stated on the CE certificate supplied with your craft. The
builder’s plate, affixed to your boat, describes various parameters involved in the design
of your boat. Please refer to it regularly when operating your boat.
Following are the Design Categories, established by the Recreation Craft Directive,
which is to be considered a guideline of use application as per the Directive’s criteria.
Hunter Marine Corporation does NOT establish these criteria, and the category indicated
is only a reference to the assigned category. The safety of the captain and crew of any

crew, together with proper preparation, appropriate safety equipment for the given
conditions and a well maintained vessel are critical to safe sailing.
