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.
For craft with outboard engines, mass of the craft in the light craft
(unladen) condition (kg) includes the mass of the heaviest recommended
outboard engine, but in some cases (a small rowing or outboard tender for
example) the craft may be used with or without the outboard. In these
cases, it would be useful to also know the weight without the outboard
motor (perhaps to see if it is light enough to carry on a car roof).
Max. = Maximum number of persons recommended
Max. + + = Maximum loading weight
Maximum load: Including passengers, personal equipment, provisions and
other loads (without fuel tank capacity).
Max. Pressure: 240 mbar Max. mbar
= 240 mbar
Maximum recommended load includes the weight of all persons onboard,
all provisions and personal effects, any equipment not included in the light
craft mass, cargo (if any) and all consumable liquids (water, fuel, etc. )
Do not exceed the maximum number of persons. Regardless of the
number of persons on board, the total weight of persons and equipment
must never exceed the maximum recommended load. Always use the
seats/seating spaces provided.
When loading the craft, never exceed the maximum recommended load.
Always load the craft carefully and distribute loads appropriately to
maintain design trim (approximately level). Avoid placing heavy weights
high up.
