Zanshin-

That means if you sail your boat in any inland protected bodies of water, it will sink immediately.

Actually, the letters and numbers mean that you can have 10 people aboard in EU RCD category A conditions (waves > 8m), 12 people in Category B conditions, (waves ≤ 8m), and 14 people aboard for Category C conditions (waves ≤4 meters).

Of course, if you can find nine people who would be willing to join you in Category A conditions, I'd be very surprised. I'd also be surprised if you could find 13 people you'd want on your boat for any extended period of time in category C conditions.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
