EU classification

Monte Carlo 6S holds three CE certifications:

If less than 14 in on board the boat is by European Union certified as Class B. OFFSHORE:
Designed for offshore voyages where conditions up to, and including, wind force 8 (Beaufort scale) and significant wave heights up to, and including, 4 m may be experienced.

If less than 16 in on board the boat is by European Union certified as Class C. INSHORE:
Designed for voyages in coastal waters, large bays, estuaries, lakes and rivers where conditions up to, and including, wind force 6 (Beaufort scale) and significant wave heights up to, and including, 2 m may be experienced.

If less than 16 in on board the boat is by European Union certified as Class D. SHELTERED WATERS:
Designed for voyages on sheltered coastal waters, small bays, small lakes, rivers and canals when conditions up to, and including, wind force 4 (Beaufort scale) and significant wave heights up to, and including, 0,3 m may be experienced, with occasional waves of 0,5 m maximum height, for example from passing vessels.


Immersion rate

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Monte Carlo 6S is about 599 kg/cm, alternatively 3359 lbs/inch.
Meaning: if you load 599 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 3359 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.
