Arctic 22 Coding

[Fergus3060]

Morning all, I'm looking to get my Arctic 22 coded. My understanding is that the main barrier to this is the open transom and I will need to build some form of bulkhead forward of the transom to achieve the require 250mm freeboard. Do I understand that correctly?

12.2.4.1 The freeboard of an inflatable boat or boat fitted with a buoyant collar should be not less than 300mm measured from the upper surface of the buoyancy tubes and not less than 250mm at the lowest part of the transom with all its equipment, fuel, cargo, activity related equipment (e.g. diving equipment) and the number of persons for which it is to be certificated onboard, with the boat re-trimmed as necessary to represent a normal operating condition, and with the drainage socks (if fitted) tied up.

If so, has anyone with an Arctic 22 already undertaken this that would be willing to share their design solution? Or any other boat with an open transom.

I think if you search the commercial section of the forum there will be a few threads and pictures of various solutions.

I'd suggest getting an idea together and then approach your coding surveyor. They are generally quite helpful with potential solutions.
