11.11.4 Guidance on stability assessment

 It should be noted that the Certifying Authority may require a full stability analysis for a vessel which has been modified from the original design, particularly if the freeboard has been significantly reduced or the modification has involved the addition of, for example, a mast-furled main sail, a roller-reefing headsail, a radar antenna or any other item of equipment which may have caused the position of the vertical centre of gravity to be situated at a higher level than that intended by the designer.
