  4. Hull Types • 2 Basic Types of Hulls: Displacement & Planing

  5. Length of a Vessel Vessel’s overall length determines the equipment required to comply with federal and state laws.

  6. Length Classes • Class A - Less than 16 feet • Class 1 - 16 feet to less than 26 feet • Class 2 - 26 feet to less than 40 feet • Class 3 - 40 feet to less than 65 feet

  7. Outboard • Portable Self-Contained Unit Attached To The Transom • Steering is controlled by a Tiller, swivels the engine.

  12. Jet Drive

  13. Sailboats • Wind Powered • Range in Size & Complexity • Four Main Components: • Hull • Rigging • Keel • Rudder

  14. Boat Capacity • # of people  = vessel length (ft.)  x  vessel width (ft.)/ 15
