3.1 STABILITY DATA
- Fully laden displacement was used to evaluate the stability and buoyancy of the boat. The value of this displacement
can be found in paragraph "Technical specifications" at the beginning of this manual.
- Any changes in the distribution of loads onboard (for example by adding a raised structure for fishing, fitting a radar or
in-mast furling, changing the engine etc.) can significantly affect the boat's stability, trim and its performance;
- It is important to keep water in the bilges to a minimum;
- The boat's stability is affected by adding to the weight of the superstructure;
- 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.
- 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.
