Small craft - Stability and buoyancy assessment and categorization - Part 2: Sailing boats of hull length greater than or equal to 6 m (ISO 12217-2:2013)

ISO 12217-2:2013 specifies methods for evaluating the stability and buoyancy of intact (i.e. undamaged) boats. The flotation characteristics of boats vulnerable to swamping are also encompassed. The evaluation of stability and buoyancy properties using ISO 12217-2:2013 will enable the boat to be assigned to a design category (A, B, C or D) appropriate to its design and maximum load. ISO 12217-2:2013 is principally applicable to boats propelled primarily by sail (even if fitted with an auxiliary engine) of 6 m up to and including 24 m hull length. However, it can also be applied to boats less than 6 m if they are habitable multihulls or may be applied if they do not attain the desired design category specified in ISO 12217-3 and they are decked and have quick-draining recesses which comply with ISO 11812. In relation to habitable multihulls, ISO 12217-2:2013 includes assessment of vulnerability to inversion, definition of viable means of escape and requirements for inverted flotation. ISO 12217-2:2013 excludes: inflatable and rigid-inflatable boats covered by ISO 6185, except f
