3.9 STABILITY AND BUOYANCY
For the stability of the boat it is important:
➢ not to exceed maximum allowed number of persons on board.
➢ to consider maximum total load of the boat.
➢ not to change position of the masses (for example the radar, engine, tanks,
batteries, etc.). This may significantly affect the stability and performance of the
boat.
➢ that all standard equipment is aboard.
➢ to remove collected bilge water (it should be kept to a minimum).
➢ not to add any weight on to higher boat areas.
➢ to consider the design/construction category.
➢ to close all hatches, lockers and doorways to minimize the risk of flooding.
➢ not to tow or lift heavy objects using a davit or the boom.
