4 MANOEUVRABILITY
- This boat was tested using the stability rating STIX, which is a worldwide safety
measurement of stability and which takes account of the length of the vessel, its displacement,
hull dimensions, stability characteristics and flooding proofness. This test produced the
following results:
Shallow draught version (Shallow draught keel)
Deep draught version (Deep draught keel)
- This boat is liable to capsize or to become flooded if carrying too much sail. In these
circumstances it could sink. It is important to reduce the sail area if the wind exceeds force 3
on the scale of Beaufort. It is important to be especially vigilant in strong gusts of wind or in a
squall.
- Take extra precautions if sailing downwind when you come round onto a beam reach, as
both the apparent wind and the angle of heel will increase. Such changes to the point of sail
must not be made at speed and you should first consider reducing sail.
