SCHEDULE 3

Regulation 6 (4)

Rule for Measurement of a Sea Fishing Boat in Accordance with Regulation 6 (4)

Measure the length from fore part of head of stem to after part of head of stern or after part of transom or tuck. Measure the greatest breadth of the vessel to the outside of outer planking. Measure also the depth amidships from underside of deck, or from the upper strake of planking in open boats, to the upper side of floor timbers at side of keelson, deducting the thickness of ceiling if fitted.

Multiply together the length, breadth and depth in feet taken as aforesaid and multiply the product by the factor 0.45, the result divided by 100 will be the registered tonnage of the boat subject to any additions as under.

In the case of a break or breaks above the line of deck, multiply together the length, breadth, and depth in feet of the space or spaces, divide the product by 100, and add the result to the tonnage of the boat obtained as aforesaid.

GIVEN under the Official Seal of the Government this 15th day of December, 1989.

CHARLES J. HAUGHEY,

Taoiseach.
