21B.20 Sailing Vessels

  21B.20.1 The requirements of Chapter 21B apply to sailing vessels in the same way as they do to motor vessels.

  21B.20.2 Where the sailing vessel is below 1500GT the variations described in 21B.20.3 and 21B.20.4 may be adopted.

  21B.20.3 On a case by case basis where due to the number of seafarers and passengers on a sailing vessel, for example a sail training vessel or a sailing vessel used for racing, it is not possible to meet the equivalent arrangements of 21B.8.3.12 (minimum of 1 square metre free floor area per seafarers), seafarers should have no worse accommodation arrangements than the passengers.

  21B.20.4 Where it is not possible to meet the requirements of 21B.8.4.14 due to there not being a wheelhouse, an additional space that provides privacy for the seafarers who are officers, such as a spare cabin, may be provided to the satisfaction of the Administration. Such a space should allow the seafarers who are officers to meet privately, or the seafarers who are officers to meet with other seafarers privately.
