Builder’s plate
Part of the information is given on the
builder’s plate 1 affixed on the craft. A full
explanation of this information is given in the
relevant sections 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 associ-
ated wave heights (significant wave heights
up to 2 m (6.56 ft); see the following NOTE).
Such conditions may be encountered in
exposed 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 dou-
ble this height.
