1.5 Design Category
One of the requirements of the EC Directive on Pleasure Craft is that every boat should
belong to a specific design category.
The yacht type DEHLER 39 belongs to Design Category A.
The Directive describes Design Category A as follows::
Design Category A: High Sea
Designed for longer trips, with possible weather conditions of a force 8 wind or more
(Beaufort Scale) and waves as high as 4 m or more, during which these boats can go on
sailing on their own.
1.6 Identification
For a yacht of this size the EC Directive only foresees the certification model Aa. This means
that the manufacturer certifies the conformity of its construction and equipment with the
directive, but that its stability needs to be tested by a recognized testing institute. The
„Germanische Lloyd“ (Abbreviation GL), one of the testing institutes allowed by the EC
Directive, was in charge of testing, see the Statement of Conformity on page 12.
On the mirror on the fore castle the hull identification number was stamped in a gel coating.
