5 Characteristics and use of your boat
5.1 General
The owner’s manual is not meant to be a complete service or repair manual, but to guide the
user to know the characteristics of the boat and to use his/her boat in a proper way.
Pictures and drawings of this manual might include optional or country-specific features.
5.2 Basic data
Recreational crafts can be constructed according to 4 categories (A, B, C and D) according to
the recreational craft directive 2013/53/EU. Yamarin 68 DC is constructed according to
category C. Below you will find information on what each category means:
Category A: The boat is built for conditions where the wind can exceed 8
Beaufort (approx. 21 m/s) and where the significant height of the waves
(please refer to note below) can exceed 4m. In such circumstances the boats
are largely self-sufficient. Category A does not include abnormal conditions
such as hurricanes. Such conditions may be encountered on extended voyages,
for example across oceans, or in coastal areas where there is an open expanse
of sea for several hundred nautical miles off the coast.
Category B: The boat is built for conditions where the wind reaches a
maximum of 8 Beaufort (approx. 21 m/s) and where the significant height of
the waves (please refer to note below) does not exceed 4m. Such conditions
may be encountered on offshore voyages of sufficient length or on coastal
waters when unsheltered from the wind and waves for several dozens of
nautical miles. These conditions may also be experienced on inland seas of
sufficient size for the wave height to be generated.
Category C: The boat is built for conditions where the wind reaches a
maximum of 6 Beaufort (approx. 14 m/s) and where the significant height of
the waves does not exceed 2 m (please refer to note below). Such conditions
may be encountered on exposed inland waters, in estuaries, and in coastal
waters in moderate weather conditions.
Category D: The boat is built for conditions where the wind reaches a
maximum of 4 Beaufort (approx. 8 m/s) and where the significant height of the
waves (please refer to note below) does not exceed 0.3 m and the height of
the greatest waves is no more than 0.5 m. Such conditions may be
encountered on protected waters on lakes and in coastal areas during fine
weather conditions.
