Stability Data
The stability data as calculated in accordance to ISO 12217-2 standards is as follows:
Minimum operating mass: 8,163 kg = 8.16 tonnes
Loaded displacement mass: 10,846 kg = 10.85 tonnes
Maximum Beaufort* force advised for each sail

Main sail + working genoa Force 5 (19 K wind) Force 5 (20 K wind)
Main sail + working jib Force 5 (20 K wind) Force 5 (21 K wind)
First reef in main sail + jib Force 6 (23 K wind) Force 6 (24 K wind)
Second reef in main sail + jib Force 6 (26 K wind) Force 7 (28 K wind)
Jib Force 8 (37 K wind) Force 8 (40 K wind)
NOTE 1 If excessive sail is carried, THIS BOAT MAY CAPSIZE, but is designed not
to sink if this occurs.
NOTE 2 The wind strengths tabulated above include a margin for the effect of gusts.
In violent winds or confused or breaking seas, additional caution should
be exercised.
NOTE 3 In the event of a severe gust, FREE SHEETS
If wind is closehauled, LUFF UP
If wind is abeam, FREE SHEETS
If wind is abaft the beam, BEAR AWAY
NOTE 4 Special care should be taken when turning from a following wind onto a
beam reach, because both the apparent wind speed and heeling effect will
increase. Such turns should not be made rapidly, and consideration should be
given to a reduction in sail before such a manoeuvre.
