GB/T 20895.2-2025 in English

This standard outlines the criteria for assessing stability and buoyancy of specific types of small vessels, with a focus on sailboats with a hull length of at least six meters. It provides detailed guidelines for classification based on these essential maritime properties. The document establishes uniform methods for evaluating the performance characteristics of such vessels, ensuring consistency in assessment procedures. It includes specifications for testing conditions, measurement techniques, and performance thresholds relevant to stability and buoyancy. The standard also defines the categories into which these vessels may be classified, based on their structural and operational attributes. This information is intended for use by designers, manufacturers, and regulatory bodies involved in the development and certification of small sailboats.
