Small craft - Stability and buoyancy assessment and categorization - Part 2: Sailing boats of hull length greater than or equal to 6 m (ISO 12217-2:2002)

This part of ISO 12217 specifies methods for evaluating the stability and buoyancy of intact (i.e. undamaged) boats. The flotation characteristics of boats vulnerable to swamping are also encompassed.
The evaluation of stability and buoyancy properties using this part of ISO 12217 will enable the boat to be assigned to a design category (A, B, C or D) appropriate to its design and maximum load.
This part of ISO 12217 is applicable to boats propelled primarily by sail (even if fitted with an auxiliary engine) of 6 m up to and including 24 m hull length. However, it may also be applied to boats of under 6 m if they are habitable multihulls or if they do not attain the desired design category specified in ISO 12217-3 and they are decked and have quick-draining recesses which comply with ISO 11812.
This part of ISO 12217 excludes
inflatable and rigid-inflatable boats up to 8 m covered by ISO 6185,
canoes, kayaks or other boats with a beam of less than 1,1 m.
It does not include or evaluate the effects on stability of towing, fishing, dredging or lifting operations, which should be separately considered if appropriate.

Kleine Wasserfahrzeuge - Festlegung und Kategorisierung von Querstabilität und Auftrieb - Teil 2: Segelboote ab 6 m Rumpflänge (ISO 12217-2:2002)

Dieser Teil von ISO 12217 legt Verfahren für die Beurteilung von Querstabilität und Auftrieb des intakten (d. h. unbeschädigten) Bootes fest. Ebenfalls sind darin die Auftriebseigenschaften solcher Boote erfasst, die empfindlich gegen Vollschlagen sind.
Die Beurteilung der Querstabilitäts- und Auftriebseigenschaften nach diesem Teil von ISO 12217 erlaubt es, das Boot einer Auslegungskategorie (A, B, C oder D) zuzuordnen, die seiner Auslegung und seiner maximalen Zuladung entspricht.
Dieser Teil der ISO 12217 ist auf Boote anwendbar, die vorzugsweise durch Segel angetrieben werden (auch wenn das Boot über eine Hilfsmaschine verfügt), und gilt für einen Bereich von 6 m bis 24 m Rumpf-länge. Er kann jedoch auch auf Boote von weniger als 6 m Rumpflänge angewendet werden, falls es sich um bewohnbare Mehrrumpfboote handelt oder die Boote nicht die gewünschte Auslegungskategorie nach ISO 12217-3 erreichen, jedoch voll gedeckt sind und schnell-lenzende Rezesse entsprechend ISO 11812 besitzen.
Ausgeschlossen von der Anwendung dieses Teils von ISO 12217 sind:
3 aufblasbare und starre aufblasbare Boote bis 8 m Rumpflänge nach ISO 6185;
3 Kanus, Kajaks oder sonstige Boote mit einer Breite von weniger als 1,1 m.
Sie enthält keine Angaben oder Beurteilungen zu den die Querstabilität betreffenden Auswirkungen von Abschleppen, Fischen, Ausbaggern oder Anheben; diese sollten, wenn erforderlich, gesondert berücksichtigt werden

Petits navires - Evaluation et catégorisation de la stabilité et de la flottabilité - Partie 2: Bateaux a voiles d'une longueur de coque supérieure ou égale a 6 m (ISO 12217-2:2002)

La présente partie de l'ISO 12217 spécifie des méthodes d'évaluation de la stabilité et de la flottabilité des bateaux à l'état intact (c'est-à-dire non endommagés). Les caractéristiques de flottabilité des bateaux vulnérables à l'envahissement sont également considérées.
L'évaluation des propriétés de stabilité et de flottabilité faite en utilisant la présente partie de l'ISO 12217 permettra d'attribuer à un bateau une catégorie de conception (A, B, C ou D) appropriée à sa conception et à sa charge totale maximale.
La présente partie de l'ISO 12217 est applicable aux bateaux propulsés par des voiles (même s'ils sont équipés d'un moteur auxiliaire), d'une longueur de coque de 6 m à 24 m inclus. Elle peut cependant être appliquée aux bateaux de moins de 6 m, s'il s'agit de multicoques habitables ou s'ils n'atteignent pas la catégorie de conception désirée spécifiée dans l'ISO 12217-3, à condition qu'ils soient pontés et munis de cavités rapidement autovideuses conformes à l'ISO 11812.
La présente partie de l'ISO 12217 n'est pas applicable aux
bateaux gonflables et semi-rigides jusqu'à 8 m couverts par l'ISO 6185,
canoës, kayaks, ou autres bateaux ayant un bau inférieur à 1,1 m.
Elle n'inclut ni n'évalue les effets sur la stabilité provenant du remorquage, de la pêche, du dragage ou d'opérations de levage qui doivent être, si nécessaire, considérés séparément.

ISO 12217-2:2002(E)
Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted
by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this part of ISO 12217 may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO 12217-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 188, Small craft.
ISO 12217 consists of the following parts, under the general title Small craft — Stability and buoyancy assessment
and categorization:
 Part 1: Non-sailing boats of hull length greater than or equal to 6 m
 Part 2: Sailing boats of hull length greater than or equal to 6 m
 Part 3: Boats of hull length less than 6 m
Annexes A, B, C, D, E and F form a normative part of this part of ISO 12217. Annexes G, H and I are for

Part 2:
Sailing boats of hull length greater than or equal to 6 m
CAUTION — Compliance with this part of ISO 12217 does not guarantee total safety or total freedom of
risk from capsize or sinking.
1 Scope
This part of ISO 12217 specifies methods for evaluating the stability and buoyancy of intact (i.e. undamaged)
boats. The flotation characteristics of boats vulnerable to swamping are also encompassed.
The evaluation of stability and buoyancy properties using this part of ISO 12217 will enable the boat to be assigned
to a design category (A, B, C or D) appropriate to its design and maximum load.
This part of ISO 12217 is applicable to boats propelled primarily by sail (even if fitted with an auxiliary engine) of
6 m up to and including 24 m hull length. However, it may also be applied to boats of under 6 m if they are
habitable multihulls or if they do not attain the desired design category specified in ISO 12217-3 and they are
decked and have quick-draining recesses which comply with ISO 11812.
This part of ISO 12217 excludes
 inflatable and rigid-inflatable boats up to 8 m covered by ISO 6185,
 canoes, kayaks or other boats with a beam of less than 1,1 m.
It does not include or evaluate the effects on stability of towing, fishing, dredging or lifting operations, which should
be separately considered if appropriate.

S LDC
3.1.3
catamaran
boat with two main load-bearing hulls
