8.5. Risk of loss of stability
Thestabilityandbuoyancycharacteristicsofthisboathavebeenassessedonthebasisoftheweightsspeciedin
the section weights:
Caution
» The boat should never carry more than the manufacturer‘s recommended load.
» Bearinmindthatstabilityismostsignicantlyreducedbyanyweightaddedhighupinthe
boat.Distributetheloadastomakesuretheboatoatsonleveltrim.
» Stabilityandyoursecuritymaybeadverselyaffectedbysloshinguidsuchaswater,check
bilge water levels at a regular basis.
» The boat may experience extreme motions and accelerations when performing wrong or
mistaken maneuvers.
Warning
» Loose equipment can cause damage to the craft and affect stability adversely. Ensure all
loose equipment is properly stowed before setting out.
» Thestabilityofthisboatissignicantlyreducedatspeedsabovedisplacementspeed.This
is especially true with waves and when you change course.
» Stability may be reduced when towing or lifting heavy weights using a davit or boom.
» Breaking waves are a serious stability hazard; drive your boat cautiously and with care.
» Everychangeorshiftofweightsmayaffecttrimandthehandling/behavioroftheboat
massively.
