This watercraft is designed to operate in
winds up to Beaufort force 6 and the associ-
ated wave heights (significant wave heights
up to 2 m (6.56 ft); see the following NOTE).
Such conditions may be encountered in
exposed inland waters, in estuaries, and in
coastal waters in moderate weather condi-

height of the highest one-third of the waves,
which approximately corresponds to the
wave height estimated by an experienced
observer. However, some waves will be dou-
ble this height.
