	   - Average freeboard:		19,30 ft / 5,88 m
	Ship tends to be wet forward

Ship space, strength and comments:
	Space	- Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 113,7 %
		- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 174,8 %
	Waterplane Area: 24.896 Square feet or 2.313 Square metres
	Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 103 %
	Structure weight / hull surface area: 123 lbs/sq ft or 601 Kg/sq metre
