[Rhodes22-list] how many people

[Bob Weber]

Bob, there probably is not a capacity plate on your boat.  I think is only 
required for power vessels.  In lue of the capacity plate the CG recommends 
the following formula.
(Lenght at waterline X Width of waterline)/150
Assuming 7.5 beam and 20 foot waterline = you can get 10 cuban refugees on 
your boat.  My Nuclear Physicist students pointed out correctly that the 
shape of the waterline will change with each additional person and there by 
maby allowing for an eleventh or even 12th refugee.  Bob
