U.S. Coast Guard Safe Loading Standard Test Procedure.

Abstract

This report describes in detail a Safe Loading Standard Test Procedure for outboard boats, inboard boats, inboard/outdrive boats and boats without mechanical propulsion. The Safe Loading Standard Test Procedure is designed to determine whether or not a given boat meets the safe loading requirements outlined in the Federal Boat Safety Act of 1971 (P. L. 92-75) and the rules and regulations in the Federal Register: 37 FR 15782, Aug. 4, 1972, as amended at 39 FR 10899, Mar. 22, 1974; 40 FR 33973, Aug. 13, 1975; 40 FR 43657, Sept. 23, 1975; 40 FR 51440, Nov. 5, 1975; 42 FR 2681, Jan. 13, 1977. Basically, the Safe Loading Standard Test Procedure establishes, by testing in a water tank, the Maximum Weight Capacity and the Maximum Persons Capacity for outboard boats, inboard boats, inboard/outdrive boats and boats without mechanical propulsion. This test procedure was developed after evaluating various test methods for determining the Maximum Weight Capacity and Maximum Persons Capacity. (Author)
