Yacht’s trim
In normal load conditions, the Grand Soleil 50’ perfectly floats and sails.
However, as for any other boat, if the normal rules for the loads distribution on board are not
observed, the boat could get out of its ideal trim and turn out to be too down by the stern, the head
or the side.
These drawbacks, within limits, do not create serious problems, but may prejudice the sailing
performances of the boat and, more generally, the sailing comfort.
For this reason, we recommend you to follow these rules when loading on board any sort of
material:
1.
limit the load of weights carrying on board only necessary items;
2.
distribute uniformly the load throughout the boat, trying to concentrate the heaviest items in
the lower central part of the boat;
3.
do not overload excessively the extremities of the boat, in particular the bow, as, if it is too
immersed, the navigation will become worse and the pitching will increase;
4.
if possible, also distribute uniformly the load throughout the transversal plane; anyway, if
you realize that the boat leans to one side after loading it, do not worry, as the transversal
trim is not as important as the longitudinal one;
5.
in any case we remind you to observe the directions in the “Builder’s plate”, posted on the
cockpit sternpost, indicating the maximum number of passengers (12) and the maximum
total weight of passengers, luggage and life raft (1372 kg.) allowed.
