Fishingaz,
Your reference is to the Certificate of Conformity (Recreational Craft Directive) that the boatbuilder must supply with all new boats.
As the CE regulations are mainly self certificated by each boat builder then he will state the parts of the RCD that apply to his boats in '6632 0048 A 09 RCD'. Hope this helps.

thanks graham.so being self aprooved there were no stability tests that had to be met before that cert was given?forgive my ignorance.its just i have seen on here somewhere that a certain ce=wind strength up to force 8.and so on .just like to know that production type boatbuilders have to meet some standard.thanks again gary

mate I stand to be corrected, but for class c,d, there are no stabilty tests, only b and and your boat si too short to get either b or a
in nz, for charter they would do and incline test, I used to load with sand bags and the man from the ministry would come and check that looks like mooloolaba lauries marina?

Clearly, the hull is designed for shallow water work, meaning it may not be as well suited to deep water efforts as others, particularly those geared toward this task. Contact the designer.

send me a pm, or email, maybe we can get together on it, I,m in Buderim

hi par it was designed for the north sea and has a draft of .640 so not too little water
