[QUOTE="Merlin3189, post: 5511749, member: 542077"] Yes, exactly what I thought. As I said, I can only wonder whether there was some other detail in the question, for example suggesting that some of the boat should be above the water. 7 people is 695 kg, leaving 5kg of reserve buoyancy - equivalent to about 1.7mm of freeboard. 6 people is 510 kg, leaving 90kg reserve buoyancy, equivalent to 3cm of freeboard. That is better, but would hardly meet Board of Trade standards. Incidentally, in the EU a standard person is 75kg rather than 85kg. Since I'm 90kg, I think the 85kg is more realistic! Unless the Q has specified some further details, I would say you were correct. [/QUOTE]
