Category A: This craft is designed to operate in winds that may exceed wind force 8 (Beaufort
scale) and in significant wave heights of 4 m and above (see Note 1 below), and is largely self-sufficient.
Abnormal conditions such as hurricanes are excluded. Such conditions may be encountered on
extended voyages, for example across oceans, or inshore when unsheltered from the wind and waves for
several hundred nautical miles.
Note 1: The significant wave height is the mean height of the highest one-third of the waves, which approximately corresponds to the wave height estimated by an
experienced observer. Some waves will be double this height.
