DOCUMENTS
11.5 Stability Documents
11.5.1 A vessel should be provided with a stability information booklet for the Master, that is to
be approved by the Administration.
11.5.4 Sailing vessels should have, readily available, a copy of the ‘Curves of Maximum Steady
Heel Angle to Prevent Downflooding in Squalls’, or in the case of a multihull, the values of
maximum advised mean apparent wind speed, for the reference of the watch keeper. This
should be a direct copy taken from that contained in the approved stability booklet.
11.5.5 The overall sail area and spar weights and dimensions should be as documented in the
vessel’s stability information booklet. Any rigging modifications that increase the overall sail
area, or the weight/dimensions of the rig aloft, must be accompanied by an approved updating
of the stability information booklet.
11.5.6 For Short Range Yachts, where the damage stability has not been assessed, the
following note should be added to the approved stability booklet; "This vessel has not been
assessed for damage stability, and therefore might not remain afloat in the event of damage or
flooding."
