Boat builder’s handbook/Руководство для судостроителя

Издание на английском языке
The book is devoted to determining the carrying capacity and capacity of pleasure boats with a length of less than 20 feet in accordance with the requirements of the US Coast Guard. It describes the techniques that should be used by manufacturers to calculate the safe load, including the maximum weight and the number of people who can be on board.
The book examines three main categories of boats and explains key concepts such as static float level and maximum displacement. Methods for determining maximum displacement are also provided, including tank tests and mathematical calculations. Finally, the steps necessary to set limits on lifting capacity and capacity are described in order to ensure safety on the water.
The book serves as a guide for manufacturers to properly label their boats and ensure that they meet established safety standards.
