SIMPLE DRAWING SHOWING THE DISTRIBUTION OF BUOYANCY:

NOTE:

The amount of buoyancy is 60% of the total weight of the crew and boat combined. This assessment has been vouched for by the manufacturers BOMBARADIER RECREATIONAL PRODUCTS and confirmed by an alternative practical flotation test carried out and witnessed by SAMSA and SADSAA surveyors. The test involved a flooding and swamping of the vessels hull, which demonstrated that the vessel remained buoyant. The cost of witnessing the test was charged out at SAMSA’s normal hourly rate.
