2. Vessel Stability

The following maximum load has been used for assessing the stability and buoyancy comprising
Manufacturer's maximum recommended load per ISO 14946 (Category B)
Manufacturer's maximum recommended load per ISO 14946 (Category C)
Fuel, fresh water, other fluids to maximum capacity of fixed tanks
This assessment has been made assuming that
The boat in the empty craft condition has a mass of
The boat in the light craft condition has a mass of
The maximum recommended engine outboard mass is
All standard equipment is aboard.
Your boat was manufactured to specific stability and flotation standards for the capacity shown on the
certification plate. Maximum recommended load included the weight of all persons aboard, all
provisions and personal effects, cargo (if any) and all consumable liquids (water, fuel, etc). Any increase
from the recommended load capacities will put your boat in jeopardy of capsizing, swamping and/or
sinking. In addition, any changes to the masses aboard may significantly affect the stability, trim, and
performance of the craft. Stability can be considerably affected by loose fluids or weight within the
vessel. Keep the bilge area as dry as possible, and in rough weather or at planing speeds, keep all
openings, hatches, lockers, doorways, and windows closed to minimize flooding. Breaking waves are a
serious stability hazard. Finally, stability can be compromised when towing or lifting heavy weights
using a davit or boom.

3. Load Capacity

The capacity plate, located near the helm, indicates the maximum weight and number of persons
your boat can handle under calm sea conditions. Do not exceed the load capacities stated. A full
explanation of this information can be found in the relevant sections of this manual.
The information present on the certification plate does not relieve the operator of responsibility. Use
common sense and sound judgment when placing equipment and/or passengers in your boat.
