1)
"companionway doors should be checked at a loading corresponding to a
water jet velocity of approximately 15 ft./sec"
How do you check that ?
2)
"Safety straps designed for a load of at least 4g should be provided for crew restraint. All heavy objects in the
cabin should be firmly secured for negative accelerations and drawers and lockers should be provided with
latches or ties which will not open even with significant distortion of the
hull structure"
Huh...4g (39.24m/s2), if
latches (lockable) can endure that, not sure hinges will...
Else, Parachute vs
Drogue ???
(I am not looking forward for a Ford vs Chevy discussion)
