SV, RMI and HSF Calculation Template | |||
| Download a XLS based template to assist boat owners with selected Resistance to Capsize calculations. Only the Screening Procedure (App B.5.1), Righting Moment Index Procedure (App B.5.2) and Horizontal Stability Factor (App B.6) are featured in the templates. These may be used in Category 3 to 6 races as an alternative to IRC, ORC or ISO criteria. Lightweight boats without IRC, ORCi or ISO data, such as day yachts, sportsboats and trailable yachts, may be particularly interested in the RMI and HSF tests. The spreadsheet shall be read in conjunction with the 2009 Yachting Australia Special Regulations. Yachting Australia thanks David Lyons, Malcolm Runnalls and Don Jones for their kind assistance. | |||

ATC National Standard for Recreational Boat Safety Equipment | |||
| The Special Regulations often allow boats to comply by using an 'equivalent or more stringent overseas standard'. For guidance, particularly for Personal Floatation Devices (PFDs), boats and organising authorities may consider referring to the National Standard for Recreational Boat Safety Equipment. This standard refers to many types of equipment and has a list of PFD standards recognised by the Australian Transport Council at the time of publication. Another source of guidance on PFDs is local state maritime departments who may hold a similar list of recognised equipment. | |||
