3 STABILITY AND BUOYANCY
3.1 STABILITY INFORMATION
- Fully laden displacement was used to evaluate the stability and buoyancy of the boat. The
value of this displacement can be found in the "Technical specifications" paragraph at the
beginning of this manual.
- Any change to the disposal of weight on board (for example, the addition of a raised structure
for fishing, radar, change of engine etc) can noticeably affect the boat's stability, trim and
performance;
- It is important to keep water in the bilges to a minimum;
- Adding weight high up on the boat will affect stability;
- In heavy weather it is important to close all the hatches, lockers and doors to minimise the
risk of water pouring in;
- The boat's stability can be reduced when towing a boat or when using a davit or boom to lift
a heavy load;
- Breaking waves are a serious threat to stability.
- Reduce speed in wavy conditions.
- Always adjust the speed and heading of your boat according to the sea
conditions.
- All of the watertight hatches must remain closed when at sea.
- If the wind exceeds 20 knots, it is recommended that you stow all removable
protection sheets (Bimini, awnings...).
