I don't think the BSS measurement is at all accurate and used in anyway by the EA. It will probably be a best guess by the surveyor and will just allow him to classify the boat length band for the correct number of Fire extinguishers etc...




I've had BSS inspections three times since we built her and none of them actually got a tape out and measured. I just get asked ?length?, so it's for an order of magnitude, not accuracy.

The only folk who have actually measured were the marina people!

Given the discrepancy between what I am declaring and the BSS Certificate, I can see I might need to use these. Any chance you can PM me the rationale in advance?




ISO 8666 Hull lenth. I have the docs on a disc somewhere, if you have problems send me a pm...
