    Have someone in the US send you (or find online ) the USCG rules for Subchapter "T" (Passenger vessels carying over 7 persons) ..the correct layout for collision and watertight bulkheads is laid down in ez to understand terms.

    alpamis can you make the hydromax software available for me?

    i also have it but due to some reason it says corrupted file cannot open.

    i am also very vexed with doing floodable length calculations manually.

    contact me at : rkpshenoy@gmail.com

    Thanx in advance
