Seascape 18 - General Information; Boat Specifications; Risk of Flooding and Stability; Loading Advice

1.2. General information
Manufacturer: ISSA d.o.o.
Model: Seascape 18
Category C:
A boat designed to operate on winds up to force 6 on the Beaufort scale and associated wave
heights (signicant waves up to 2 metres) Such conditions may be
encountered on exposed inland water, in estuaries and in coastal waters in moderate
weather conditions.
A signicant wave height is the mean height of the highest one third of the wave, which
approximately corresponds to the wave height estimated by an experienced observer.
Some waves will be double this height.
Maximum Recommended Load:  x 4
 + luggage = max 345 kg.
Specications: Length (LH1) = 5,55 m
Width (BH1) = 2,37 m
Mast height (above the deck) = 7,4 m
Main sail area = 14.5 m
2
Jib area (optional) = 8,5 m
2
Spinnaker area = 32 m
2
Maximum draft (standard keel) = 1.500 mm with keel down
Maximum draft (standard keel) = 160 mm with keel and rudders up
Maximum draft (shallow draft keel) = 1.100 mm with keel down
Maximum draft (shallow draft keel) = 250 mm with keel and rudders up
Weight fully rigged = 470 kg
Identication: Hull identication number on stern of each hull.
1.3. Information connected with the risk of ooding and stability
1.3.1. Loading advice
Keep the total weight of provisions, miscellaneous equipment not supplied by the manufacturer
and persons aboard below the Maximum Recommended Load and suitably distributed.
1.3.2. Openings in the hull
Hatch on the foredeck deck, neoprene seal and inspection hatch on the stern must be sealed
before leaving the shore. When storing the boat ashore, be sure to have the holes covered and it
may be wise to leave the hatches open for ventilation purposes.
1.3.3. Stability.
Stability of the boat is designed to compensate to all crew errors to including wind strenght of
4bf. In wind forces 4-6bf missuse of asymetric spinnaker can cause heel in ecces of 45 degrees
and even knock down (90-100deg heel of the boat). Mast is watertight and in combination
with weighted keel helps the boat to right herself when spinnaker hallyard is released. In case
spinnaker hallyard is not released and/or crew holds itself for the windward side of the knocked
down boat, boat will eventually capsize.
Insubmersibility volumes integrated in the boat provide sufcient bouyancy to prevent the boat
from sinking but keeping the safety keel pin and neoprene seal over the door is essential to safe
and quick righting of the boat.
