    I am a canadian boatbuilder and i am about to start building a 45ft alluminum motoryacht, planing hull, 40Knt speed, 30 passengers.
    Does anyone know what are the mandatory rules for designing the boat(I mean for the project).Do I need survey from Canada Transport? If Yes, then what scantling rules I have to comply with? (ABS?):becourse Canada Transport doesn't have it's own scantling rules.
    Thanks to everyone!

    If you are carrying passengers for hire, you proably do need to meet something. Look at the regulations and/or hire a real naval architect (Bob Allen in Vancouver is very good at high speed craft like this).
