DESIGN CATEGORY A
Wave height max 7 metres
Windspeed max. Force 10
Now increasing LOA from 11,98 m to 13,0 m (just increasing overhangs to an oldies style one), we realize STIX (you may check it with the spreadsheet I've posted before), instead of increasing, DECREASES from 38,838 down to 38,771
Not a big deal, you may think, but in the limits this can make a long overhangs boat not categorizable under Cat A, while an squared ends one could pass (with all it's marketing consequences).
But it will have not only marketing consequences, but also safety ones, because surviving in rough weather conditions, in situations where a boat is heeled 90º or more, the boat with longer overhangs probably is able to defend itself better than a squared one. Rolf Eliasson states that for those conditions probably is LOA what should be doubled in the formula and not LWL.
Es decir cogen los datos de un supuesto barco que entraría en clase
A, y por el hecho de hacer la proa y popa lanzada (alargando el LOA)
penaliza en el cálculo de STIX y pasaría a categoría B
cuando el barco más alargado probablamente se defendaría mejor en mal tiempo!!!
