Category A: This yacht is designed to navigate in conditions where the
wind force may be greater than 8 on the Beaufort scale and, the sig-
nicant wave height is greater than 4m and is largely self-sufcient.
Excessive conditions, such as hurricanes are excluded. These conditions
can be found in long crossings, for example interoceanic crossings, or near
the coast, exposed to wind and waves for several hundred nautical miles.
The signicant wave height is the average height of the waves that make up
the highest third of the same, which is approximately wave height estimated
by an experienced observer. Some waves know no twice this height.
