*Important displacement information
Remember, always take the fully laden displacement weight of your vessel
into account, this is often 20% above the designed displacement, so don’t
be tempted to choose a pilot which will always be working at the limits of
its design capabilities. If you choose your pilot with safety in mind, it won’t
struggle when the going gets tough. PHOTO: X-YACHTS
