ERTIFICATION
At the helm station you will find a NMMA (National Marine Manufacturers Association)
Yacht Certification tag. This means your yacht complies with the Coast Guard safety standards.
(NOTE: Any boat with an overall length of 26 feet or greater is defined as a “yacht” by NMMA.)
This label means your Grady-White is certified by the NMMA. With
this tag, you are assured your fuel system, electrical system, lighting,
ventilation, and steering are not only in compliance with the US Coast
Guard regulations, but also meet the more stringent standards of the
NMMA. The NMMA is a national trade organization serving all
elements of the recreational boating industry including manufacturers
of boating equipment. With this tag, you can have confidence in the
safety of your boat.
This label means that Grady-White has designed and built your boat to the ABYC standard
H-8, buoyancy in the event of swamping. Basic flotation is defined as having enough foam in the
boat to create buoyancy and prevent sinking under swamped conditions.

APACITY
Though overloading is a primary cause of many boating accidents, improper loading is
equally hazardous. Boaters should know the amount of weight on board and evenly
distribute
the
weight within the boat.
