1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS (Clause 5)
Ref Clause Requirement Status Inspector Notes
1.1 5.1 Strong point may be used for different purposes (anchoring/towing/mooring)
1.2 5.2 All craft: one anchoring/towing point forward
2. STRENGTH REQUIREMENTS (Clause 6)
Ref Clause Requirement Status Inspector Notes
2.1 6.2 Forward anchoring/towing: Pf = (4.3LC - 5.4) × f (kN)
2.2 6.2 Forward mooring: Pf = (3.5LC - 4.3) × f (kN)
2.3 6.2 Aft mooring: Pf = (3.0LC - 3.8) × f (kN)
2.4 6.2 Breaking strength not required higher than boat mass (mLDC)
2.5 6.3 Direct calculation method (if used) accounts for design category, windage, hull form
2.6 6.4 Strong point strength ≥125% of specified rope/chain breaking strength
3. DETAILED REQUIREMENTS (Clause 7)
Ref Clause Requirement Status Inspector Notes
3.1 7.1 Craft structures reinforced to take calculated loads
3.2 7.1 Doubling plates or washers of adequate size used for bolted connections
3.3 7.2 Strong points made of corrosion resistant or protected materials
