Design limits set by the EU Recreational Craft Directive (2013/53/EU), in significant wave height. A category covers the conditions of those below it. It is the limit the boat was designed to, not a promise that it is safe in any conditions within it — that judgement stays with the skipper.

Premium production
Italian builder of motor yachts, founded in 1870 on Lake Como and joined by the Monzino family in 1970.
Cranchi counts six generations since 1870, the year Giovanni Cranchi's craft business was registered to build wooden boats on Lake Como. In 1932 another Giovanni Cranchi, grandson of the founder, moved the workshop to Brienno, still on the lake shore, and gave it the scale of a boatyard. In 1970, a hundred years after the first workshop, Tullio Monzino went into partnership with Aldo Cranchi and the yard moved to the nearby Valtellina to expand. The yard has operated independently since 1870, and the Cranchi family still owns it today alongside the Monzino family.
