Yacht Plate
At the helm area on Regal boats 26' and longer is located an NMMA
yacht plate as shown below. This plate represents manufacturers who
participate in the National Marine Manufacturer’s Association yacht
certication program. This program goes beyond the minimum USCG
standards to ensure adherence to the American Boat & Yacht Council
(ABYC) standards. NMMA approved inspectors are utilized to verify
compliance to standards.
Note the yacht plate information below:
• The operator of the craft must read and understand the plate
information before operating the vessel.
TYPICAL EXAMPLE SHOWN
Safe Loading
OTE: N Overloading, improper loading and weight distribution
are well documented causes of accidents. Provide for an
extra margin of safety in rough sea conditions.
The vessel operator is responsible for his passengers. Explain to all
passengers before the outing the importance of keeping the overall load
balanced. Also, emphasize that passengers must remain seated while the
vessel is in motion for the safety of the other passengers. Make sure
that all passengers are positioned in their seats to afford clear visibility
for the operator in all directions. Appoint passengers as “lookouts”
for the operator and to signal before a dangerous situation develops.
