Model information EJU30330Builder’s plate
Part of the information is given on the builder’s
plate affixed on the craft. A full explanation of
this information is given in the relevant sec-
tions of this manual.
Design category of this personal water-
craft: C
Category C:
This watercraft is designed to operate in
winds up to Beaufort force 6 and the associat-
ed wave heights (significant wave heights up
to 2 m (6.56 ft); see the following NOTE).
Such conditions may be encountered in ex-
posed inland waters, in estuaries, and in
coastal waters in moderate weather condi-
tions.
NOTE:
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.
However, some waves will be double this
height.
