Safe Loading — Subpart C

Category One: Inboard and Sterndrive Boats

33 CFR Subpart C: Safe Loading makes a distinction between three categories of boats. Some of the terms in this section have already been defined in section 2.0. Others, which are specific to this category, are defined below.

We know that in all three categories we must establish a static float-plane and calculate the boat’s displacement below this float-plane. We have done this in sections 3.0 and 4.0. We are now ready to apply the formulae and find the amount of weight we can load in the boat.
