Samana 59 - Safety Procedures and Precautions; Stability and Bilging Systems

11
A - STABILITY
 Any change in the weight arrangement on board (for example the addition of a raised structure for fishing, a radar, a mast
with inertia reel, the change of the engine, etc.) can affect significantly the stability, the trim and the performance of the
craft;
 Water in the holds should be kept to a minimum;
 Stability is reduced by the addition of any mass above the main deck;
 During heavy weather, panels, lockers and doors should be closed to minimise the risk of incoming water;
 Stability can be reduced when towing or the lifting of large weights using a davit or a boom;
 The air tanks must not be pierced;
 Crashing waves constitute a significant danger to the stability of the craft.
