Ship tends to be wet forward
Ship space, strength and comments:
Space
- Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 155.6%
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 114.3%
Waterplane Area: 12,734 Square feet or 1,183 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 80%
Structure weight / hull surface area: 41 lbs/sq ft or 201 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
- Cross-sectional: 0.63
- Longitudinal: 0.48
- Overall: 0.51
Cramped machinery, storage, compartmentation space
Adequate accommodation and workspace room
Poor seaboat, wet and uncomfortable, reduced performance in heavy weather
