Stability and buoyancy
Any change in the mass distribution on board can significantly affect the stability, trim, and
performance of the craft. Consider the following factors and recommendations before setting out
to sea:
• Breaking waves are a serious stability hazard.
• Check the bilge water level; keep it at a minimum.
• Stability is reduced by any weight added above the main deck.
• In rough weather, hatches, lids, lockers, and doorways should be closed to minimize the risk of
flooding.
• Stability may be reduced when towing, or by lifting heavy loads using a davit or boom.
• Ensure that any load is suitably distributed, properly stowed, and secured.
• Stability is significantly reduced at speeds above displacement speed.
