Applicability

This chapter provides the scantling design criteria for the following craft built from metallic materials:

- sailing yachts

- motor yachts

- high speed yachts

- multihulls, as per definitions given in Pt.5.

It is also applicable to parts constructed in metallic materials on vessels built in composites. The criteria defined in this chapter for hull girder strength and local scantlings shall be applied using the design loads derived from Ch.3 Sec.2 and/or Ch.3 Sec.3, under consideration of App.A to App.E.
