Design categories:
The design categories are as follows:
Design category C: The craft has been designed for voyages where conditions up to and
including wind force 6 (Beaufort scale) may be experienced (a wind force of approximately 14
metrespersecond,asignicantwaveheightof2metresormorewithatemporarypeakwave
height of 4 metres). These conditions may be experienced during voyages on large lakes,
estuaries, and, in moderate weather conditions, on coastal waters .
Design category D: The craft has been designed for voyages where conditions up to and
including wind force 4 (Beaufort scale) may be experienced (a wind force of approximately 8
metrespersecond,asignicantwaveheightof0,3metresormorewithatemporarypeakwave
height of 0,5 metres). These conditions may be experienced during voyages on sheltered lakes,
rivers, and, in good weather, on coastal waters.
NB! The'signicantwaveheight'referstoanaverageheightbasedonthehighestone-thirdofthewaveprole,
corresponding roughly to the wave height observed by an experienced mariner. Individual waves may be
twice as high.
