Join us for the ABL February Maritime Market Briefing, discussing the following topic:

Motor Yachts & Sailing Yachts: Stability Risks and what can lead to Total Loss

Stability of superyachts has never previously been a newsworthy topic, but it certainly is now. Recent high-profile incidents have highlighted the critical risks of stability loss in yachts. This presentation explores the theory and application of stability assessments, examining key differences between motor and sailing yachts and the factors that can lead to total loss.
