    Fraid it is a graphic illustration of rule manipulation ... quite legit, I shud add
    Nor is there anything new in it ... been going on for decades
    Think of the old 40ft rule for the Moray Firth and the beamy almost forty footers that this spawned. I had one for a while and she was great. But the length-based approach is too crude ... IMO
    Anyone remember the old 25-ton rule ... go over and you needed a ticket
    One of the tricks to reduce the notional tonnage was to have extra deep floor timbers
    Super ringers like the last series of Weatherhead boats demonstrated this really well
    etc, etc
