Small craft - Watertight cockpits and quick-draining cockpits (ISO 11812:2001)

Sets requirements on design and arrangements for cockpits and their drainage.

Kleine Wasserfahrzeuge - Wasserdichte und schnell-lenzende Plichten (ISO 11812:2001)

Diese Norm legt Anforderungen an Plichten und Rezesse auf kleinen Wasserfahrzeugen mit Rumpflängen bis 24 m fest, die entweder als wasserdicht oder als ?schnell-lenzend" bezeichnet werden.
Sie legt weder Anforderungen an die Größe und die Form von Plichten und Vertiefungen fest, noch wann oder wo sie angewendet werden muss. Sie berücksichtigt nur Entwässerung durch Schwerkraft und nicht durch Abpumpen oder andere Verfahren.
ANMERKUNG 1   Die Benennung ?schnell-lenzende Plicht" wurde zur Unterscheidung zum allgemein üblichen ?selbst-lenzende Plicht" gewählt, wo Wasser unter bestimmten Bedingungen nach außenbords abfließen kann, jedoch ohne eine spezifizierte Lenzgeschwindigkeit, Höhe des Bodens oder Sülls usw.
ANMERKUNG 2   Im informativen Anhang A sind Beispiele für Plichtböden mit einer Ebene angegeben.

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.
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 International Standard may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO 11812 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 188, Small craft.
Annexes B, C, D and E form a normative part of this International Standard.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 11812:2001(E)

Small craft — Watertight cockpits and quick-draining cockpits
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies requirements for cockpits and recesses to be designated either as “watertight”
or as “quick-draining” on small craft of hull length up to 24 m.
It does not set requirements for the size and shape of a cockpit or recess, nor when or where it shall be used. It
only considers draining by gravity, and not by pumping or other methods.
NOTE 1 The term “quick-draining cockpit” has been chosen to differentiate from the common understanding of “self-draining
cockpit” where water may be drained overboard in certain conditions, but without specified draining speed, height of bottom or
sill, etc.
NOTE 2 Examples of single-plane cockpit bottoms are given in informative annex A.
2 Normative references
The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of
this International Standard. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these
publications do not apply. However, parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to
investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. For
undated references, the latest edition of the normative document referred to applies. Members of ISO and IEC

ISO 11812:2001(E)
NOTE Cockpits are normally designed for accommodation of people but, for the purpose of this International Standard, the
term "cockpit” will be used either for a proper cockpit or for any recess. This means that
 bulwarks may create a large cockpit,
 open boats may effectively comprise a cockpit which includes nearly all the boat,
 cockpit(s) may be situated anywhere in the boat, and
 a cockpit may open aft to the sea.

but not those for drainage
3.10
quick-draining cockpit or recess
cockpit with characteristics and draining capacity which fulfil all the requirements of this International Standard for
one or several design categories
NOTE According to its characteristics, a cockpit may be considered quick-draining for one design category, but maybe not
for a higher category.
3.11
cockpit sole
essentially horizontal surface(s) of the cockpit on which people normally stand
3.12
cockpit bottom
lowest surface of the cockpit sole where water collects before being drained
NOTE 1 Devices raising the standing level(s) from the rigid part of the cockpit sole, e.g. grating, stands, bridge decks, are not
considered as part of the cockpit bottom.
NOTE 2 The cockpit bottom is considered to comprise only one plane. A cockpit bottom with several levels is considered
according to annex B.
3.13

3.20
companionway door
door or closing appliance intended to close a companionway opening
3.21
washboards
closing appliance for companionway opening made of several mobile boards that, when closed, are stacked one on
top of each other
NOTE 1 This is a very frequent device on sailing monohulls.
NOTE 2 Boards are added as the weather worsens to constitute a higher sill.
3.22
sill
barrier above which water in the cockpit may enter companionway openings and downflood the boat
NOTE The lids to cockpit lockers or any opening other than the companionway opening, and leading into non-quick-draining
parts of the boat are not considered to be sills if the closing appliance covering them fulfils the watertightness requirements of
clause 9.

5 General requirements
5.1 Loading and measurement conditions
The loading conditions for the subclauses 5.2 to 5.4 are “fully loaded ready-for-use” as defined in ISO 8666. In
some cases, the mass of water contained in specific volumes shall be added to this loading (see 6.2.1 and 6.2.2).
The measurement or calculations shall be made with the boat upright and at rest in smooth water.
NOTE This loading condition is surpassed and maybe the trim altered when the cockpit is in its draining period, i.e. when
partially or totally filled with water.
5.2 Requirements for “watertight” cockpits and recesses
A “watertight” cockpit or recess shall
 have its sills in accordance with clause 8, and
 show a degree of watertightness in accordance with clause 9.
6 © ISO 2001 – All rights reserved

---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------

ISO 11812:2001(E)
5.3 Requirements for “quick draining” cockpits and recesses

 have its bottom height H above the the waterline in accordance with clause 6;
B
 have its draining devices in accordance with clause 7;
 have its sills in accordance with clause 8;
 show a degree of watertightness in accordance with clause 9.
For simplicity, the main part of this International Standard considers cockpits having only one bottom level.
Cockpits having several bottom levels shall be analysed according to annex B.
Figure 1 gives schematically the principal heights used in this International Standard for a one-level bottom cockpit.

6.2 Exception to 6.1 for recesses or lockers
6.2.1 Exception up to 10 % of cockpit bottom area
Surfaces up to a total 10 % of the horizontal projection of the cockpit bottom are not required to comply with 6.1.
Among these surfaces, those containing water after the cockpit has drained will be considered full of water when
assessing the fully loaded condition.
6.2.2 Lockers in the cockpit bottom
Lockers placed in the cockpit bottom
 which are intended for the storage of liferafts, ice, fish, baits, etc., and
 which are watertight towards the interior of the boat, and
 whose closing appliances do not fulfil all the requirements of 5.3,
are not regarded as part of the cockpit and are not required to comply with clause 9. They shall be considered full
of water when assessing the fully loaded condition.
If fulfilling the requirements of 5.3 and clause 9, these lockers need not be considered full of water, but only filled
with the maximum loading corresponding to the “fully loaded” condition.
7 Requirements for drainage of quick-draining cockpits
7.1 Cockpit drainage
7.1.1 General
Draining shall only be by gravity.
7.1.2 When the boat is upright
When the boat is upright, at least 98 % of the cockpit volume shall drain, excluding any recess in accordance with
the exceptions of 6.2.
7.1.3 When the boat is heeled
The requirements in 7.1.3.1 and 7.1.3.2 shall be fulfilled when the boat is heeled to both port and starboard.

ISO 11812:2001(E)
7.1.3.1 Sailing monohulls
On sailing monohulls, drainage shall be provided for at least 90 % of V at the lesser heel angle of
C
 30° heel, or
 when the deck at side begins to touch the water.
7.1.3.2 Non-sailing boats and multihulls
On non-sailing boats and multihulls, drainage shall be provided for at least 90 % of V at 10° heel.

7.2 Draining time
The draining time is the time needed to drain the cockpit from the full height of water, h , down to a remainder of
C
0,1 m above cockpit bottom.
The draining time shall be measured or calculated with every appliance closed.
NOTE It is considered that a large cockpit volume relative to the boat's reserve buoyancy requires a correspondingly small
draining time, as a prolonged time with the cockpit full of water would expose the boat to great hazard.
If the draining section, expressed in square metres, is greater than or equal to 0,05 V , it is considered large
C
enough to fulfil the requirements and does not require a draining time assessment.
For other drain configurations, the draining time shall be assessed, and shall not be greater than t given by the
