2. Stability and buoyancy
This boat has been assessed as capable of supported the weight of the crew, even in the event of flooding.
a) Fully laden displacement was used to evaluate the stability and buoyancy of the boat. The value of this
displacement can be found in paragraph “Specifications” as below.
b) Any changes in the distribution of loads onboard (for example by adding a raised structure for fishing, fitting
radar or in-mast furling, changing the engine etc.) can significantly affect the boat’s stability, trim and its
performance.
c) It is important to keep water in the bilges to a minimum.
