Small craft (ICS code(s): 47.080)

Draft of Egyptian standard for " Small craft — Hull construction and scantlings - Part 10: Rig loads and rig attachment in sailing craft ".; (83 page(s), in English)

This draft of Egyptian standard specifies methods for the determination of:

·        The design loads and design stresses on rig elements; and

·        The loads and scantlings of rig attachments and mast steps/pillars; on monohull and multihulls sailing craft.

It also gives, in Annexes, "established practices" for the assessment of mast steps/pillars or chainplates.

Scantlings derived from this draft standard are primarily intended to apply to recreational craft, including charter vessels.

This draft standard is not applicable to racing craft designed only for professional racing.

It only considers the loads exerted when sailing. Any loads that may result from other situations are not considered in this draft standard.

Throughout this draft standard, and unless otherwise specified, dimensions are in (m), areas in (m2), masses in (kg), forces in (N), moments in (N m), stresses and elastic modulus in N/mm2 (1 N / mm2 = 1 Mpa). Unless otherwise stated, the craft is assessed in fully loaded ready for use condition. Worth mentioning is that this standard adopts the technical content of ISO 12215-10:2020
