Remember:
any change in arrangement of the masses on the side (eg. The addition of a fishing tower,
a change in the engine etc.) can significantly affect the stability, trim and behavior of the
boat,
amount of bilge water should be as small as possible,
stability is decreased by adding any high-mounted weight
gaps in bad weather, lockers, doorways should be closed to minimize the risk of flooding,
stability may be reduced when towing.
air chambers can’t be pierced,
breaking waves are a serious threat to stability.
DANGER
Information about stability and freeboard, floatation and buoyancy is fulfilled
only when:
The weight of empty boat with equipment does not exceed 715 kg,
The maximum power of engine does not exceed 44,7 kW
CAUTION
The fulfillment of the requirement of stability and freeboard as well as buoyancy
and flotation does not guarantee the boat will not overturn or sink if all criteria
of exploiting the boat are not kept.
The helmsman of boat is responsible for complying to proper sea practice in
reference to safety of crew and boat.
