Abstract
A standard for weight definition and an approach to weight control is presented for modern motor yachts and other craft. This includes a definition of weight and loading conditions for these vessels which can be related to attainable vessel speeds. The weight control plan addresses concept through detail design, construction, delivery and service life. The procedure is adaptable to all types of hull structural material. Weight curves developed from regression of previous vessel data are included and cover a variety of pleasure and commercial craft. Examples of the effect of weight control on speed are given. Recommendations for application of the procedures are offered.
