Recreational Boat Developmental Test Program Developmental Testing. Volume II. Tests, Methods and Reports.
Abstract
The report is Volume 2 of a three volume report. The report presents recreational boat safety tests and methods. The tests include those necessary to document the boat under test; hull identification number, physical measurements, capacities (loading, flotation, powering), fire and explosion systems (fuel, electrical and ventilation), and other boat appurtenances. Certain tests are presented which are intended to obtain data toward future standards or to upgrade existing standards in powering, flotation, loading and small boat stability. An instrumentation manual for small boat dynamics measurements is included along with descriptions of data handling methods. Finally, the methods and procedures needed to accumulate data and information into a set of standards files in the various areas of boating safety are defined. (Author)
