The Safe Loading and Powering Capacities are computed in compliance with the formulas and standards as issued by the United States Coast Guard COMDTPUB16761.3B, issued under Chapter II Title 46 of USCG Code Subchapter 1, Title 33 (USCG, DOT) Code of Federal Regulations.

It should be specifically noted that these precise computed capacity specifications apply ONLY to pure rowing versions of all boats of this type. These capacities should only be used as general not exact recommendations for SAILING versions because all good sailboats have a daggerboard or centerboard which is absent in rowing versions of the same craft; the presence of a daggerboard or centerboard trunk can affect the boat’s capacity. Therefore the United States Coast Guard (USCG) recognizes that because there are infinite variations in daggerboard or centerboard styles, one formula can NOT be applied to all designs and have valid real-world results. The specific exemption from the USCG standards quoted above is listed under USCG CFR 33, COMDTPUB16761.3B, pg 36: Sailboats, canoes, kayaks, inflatables and raceboats are exempted from all requirements except for the Hull Identification Numbers..
