<p>This International Standard specifies requirements for cockpits and recesses to be designated either as "watertight"</p>
<p>or as "quick-draining" on small craft of hull length up to 24 m.</p>
<p>It does not set requirements for the size and shape of a cockpit or recess, nor when or where it shall be used. It</p>
<p>only considers draining by gravity, and not by pumping or other methods.</p>
<p>NOTE 1 The term "quick-draining cockpit" has been chosen to differentiate from the common understanding of "self-draining</p>
<p>cockpit" where water may be drained overboard in certain conditions, but without specified draining speed, height of bottom or</p>
<p>sill, etc.</p>
<p>NOTE 2 Examples of single-plane cockpit bottoms are given in informative annex A.</p>
