<p>This document specifies methods for the determination of:</p>
<p>— the design loads and design stresses on rig elements; and</p>
<p>— the loads and scantlings of rig attachments and mast steps/pillars;</p>
<p>on monohull and multihulls sailing craft.</p>
<p>It also gives, in Annexes, "established practices" for the assessment of mast steps/pillars or chainplates</p>
<p>NOTE 1 Other engineering methods can be used provided the design loads and design stresses are used.</p>
<p>This document is applicable to craft with a hull length <i>L</i><sub>H</sub> up to 24 m but it can also be applied to craft up to 24 m load line length.</p>
<p>NOTE 2 The load line length is defined in the OMI "International Load Lines Convention 1966/2005", it is smaller than <i>L</i><sub>H</sub>. This length also sets up, at 24 m, the lower limit of several IMO conventions.</p>
<p>Scantlings derived from this document are primarily intended to apply to recreational craft, including charter vessels.</p>
<p>This document is not applicable to racing craft designed only for professional racing.</p>
<p>This document only considers the loads exerted when sailing. Any loads that may result from other situations are not considered in this document.</p>
<p>Throughout this document, and unless otherwise specified, dimensions are in (m), areas in (m<sup>2</sup>), masses in (kg), forces in (N), moments in (N m), stresses and elastic modulus in N/mm<sup>2</sup> (1 N / mm<sup>2</sup> = 1 Mpa). Unless otherwise stated, the craft is assessed in fully loaded ready for use condition.</p>
