RULES FOR STATUTORY CERTIFICATION OF

BOATS AND YACHTS (extract)

APPLICATION

This document is an extract from the Rules for statutory certification of boats and yachts (Pravila za statutarnu certi-fikaciju brodica i jahti), published in Croatian Official Gazette No. 82/2010, specifying requirements for safety equip-

ment for recreational crafts (boats and yachts) which are applying for the registration under Croatian flag.

The Rules are integrally dealing with safety aspects relevant for the design, manufacture, certification and surveys ofboats and yachts, also incorporating provisions of EU Directive 94/25/EC, as amended by EU Directive 2003/44/EC.

However, this document does not contain all the provisions contained the Rules, as only relevant parts have been trans-lated in English. Parts of the Rules which are not contained in this document can be obtained upon request.

For easier reference, and in addition to the requirements contained in the Rules, EXPLANATORY NOTES (framed and

indicated in green) are added, giving the additional explanations to the specific requirement.

increased by 25 %, but the diameter ofthe chain cable needs not to be increased.When the yacht has an unusually high

windage (high freeboard, large super-structure or large rigging) the mass of the

anchor and diameter of chain cable are to

increased above the requirements statedin Table 5.3.1-1. For yachts having un-

usual or non-conventional forms (catama-rans, trimarrans, etc.) the anchor and

chain cable size should to be consideredon the case-by case basis.

.2 Anchors are to be rigged ready for use.An anchor windlass is to be provided ifthe anchor mass exceeds 30 kg.

5.3.1.3 Anchor cables:

.1 The length of the chain cable should beappropriate to the navigation area, but

generally should not be less than 4 timesof the yacht hull length, or 30 meters,whichever is greater, for each of the an-

chors..2 Chain cables may be replaced by syn-

thetic ropes or steel wires. In that case,the length of the chain cable between the

anchor and the rope or wire should be not

less than 10 meters or 20 % of the totallength, whichever is greater.

5.3.1.4 Towlines and mooring lines:

The yacht is to be equipped with at least withfour mooring lines with the length not less than the yacht hulllength. Furthermore, the yacht is to be provided with at least

Table 6.3.2-2

Equipment for boats for commercial use and boats used by the Authorities

EXPLANATORY NOTE:

Requirements from this table (table 6.3.2-2) are not relevantfor existing and second-hand boats for personal use.

6.3.2.1 Anchoring, mooring and towing equipment

6.3.2.1.1 General requirements:.1 Below stated requirements are intended

for temporary anchoring of the boatwithin harbour or sheltered area. Anchorsand chains are designed neither to hold

the boat off exposed coasts in roughweather, nor to stop the boat when sail-

ing. Requirements stated in the Rules,Chapter 2, 2.4.8 are to be complied with

also.

EXPLANATORY NOTE:

Requirements stated in the Rules, Chapter 2, 2.4.8 are notrelevant for existing and second-hand boats and boats notcomplying with Directive 94/25/EC.

6.3.2.1.2 Anchors:

.1 The anchor masses given in Table6.3.2.1-1 are for high holding power an-

chors.When a fisherman type of anchor is fittedthe mass given in Table 6.3.2.1-1 is to be

increased by 25 %, but the diameter ofthe chain cable needs not to be increased.

When the boat has an unusually highwindage (high freeboard, large super-

structure or large rigging) the mass of theanchor and diameter of chain cable might

be increased above the requirementsstated in Table 6.3.2.1-1. For boats hav-ing unusual or non-conventional forms

(catamarans, trimarrans, etc.) the anchorand chain cable size should to be consid-

ered on the case-by case basis.6.3.2.1.3 Chain cables:


14/15

2013

.1 The length of the chain cable should beappropriate to the navigation area, but

generally should not be less than 4 timesof the boat hull length, or 30 meters,

whichever is greater, for each of the an-chors.

.2 Chain cables may be replaced by syn-

thetic ropes or steel wires. In that case,the length of the chain cable between theanchor and the rope or wire should be not

less than 20 % of the total length.

6.3.2.1.4 Towing and mooring lines:.1 The boat is to be equipped with at least

four mooring lines with the length notless than the boat hull length, but in no

case less than 5 meters. Furthermore, theboat is to be provided with at least onetowing rope with length of not less than

four times of hull length. The diameter ofthe towing rope shall be not less than thediameter required for the spare anchor

rope.

NOTES:

1. Chain cable diameter given in the table is for ordinary links chain. Requirements from ISO 4565:1986 - Small craft - Anchor

chains are to be observed.2. Requirements are given for nylon ropes. In the case of use of other synthetic made fibres its breaking force is to be at least equal

the one stated in the table.

6.3.2.2 Antifouling systems:

Organotin compounds (TBT) which acts asbiocides shall not be applied in antifouling systems on all

boats.

6.3.3 Additional requirements for certain
