T - 3 LOADING PASSENGERS
AND GEAR
NOTICE
The NMMA Yacht Certification rating (indicated
by a yacht certification plate - see Preface
page 14) places the responsibility on the
captain to make the determination as to the
appropriate load, load placement and number
of passengers permitted aboard the vessel.
NOTE: All boats under 20 feet in length must have
a capacity rating plate showing the recommended
person capacity as well as the maximum capacity
of the boat including persons and gear.
When loading your boat, remember to distribute the
load evenly. Keep the load low and do not overload.
The capacity plate affixed to your boat states the
maximum load capacity. The plate shows in pounds,
the amount of persons and gear that the boat will
safely handle under normal conditions. US Coast
Guard regulations establishes these load capacity
ratings. Position passengers and gear so that the
load is balanced.
When loading, always step into the boat, never board
by jumping. Have someone on the dock pass your
gear aboard. Secure all gear firmly so it doesn’t move
or interfere with operation of the boat. Passengers
should board the boat one-at-a-time and be seated.
Passengers should remain seated during loading of
the boat to maintain an even trim.
