I read this standard recently and I don't think I have got it right? There are lower limits for speed 1,1 Froude and Power, if both exceeded You shall proceed to Avoidance line test or Quick turn test. But limit for Power
P = BH*LH*m^0,333
P = Power [kW]
BH = Beam of RIB [m]
LH = Hull length [m]
m = mass in test drive condition [m]
Example 1:
LH = 8 m
BH = 2,6 m
m = 3500 kg
--> P = 315 kW = 428 hp
Example 2:
LH = 11,5 m
BH = 3,7 m
m = 4500 kg
--> P = 700 kW = 952 hp
Can this really be right? You shall test only boats that insanely powered?
