    Hi all,

    I'm actually working with the Bureau Veritas rules for the scantling of a 37' FRP planing boat which can be used for fishing and diving with max speed of 40 knots.
    This rule needs the determination of the vertical acceleration factor (Gamma M) which depends on the sea state conditions and speed.
