Survey watch points

Manufacturer beam and draft publications disagree

medium risk · unresolved · documentation

The live Galeon US page publishes 13'8" beam and 47" maximum draft, while its linked refresh-2022 PDF publishes 13'5" beam and 3'9" draft including drive and prop.

Two simultaneously public Galeon US sources disagree on beam and draft. The live model page (galeon-430-htc-model-page) publishes 13'8" / 4.16 m beam and 47" / 120 cm maximum draft. Its linked refresh-2022 specification sheet (galeon-430-htc-2022-spec-sheet) instead publishes 13'5" / 4.11 m beam and 3'9" / 1.2 m draft including drive and prop.

The canonical strip retains the live-page values and records both paths in conflicting_fields. Treat the disagreement as unresolved until the specification revision applicable to a surveyed hull is established.

Confirm the applicable Galeon specification revision and measure the surveyed hull before relying on beam for berth fit.
Confirm draft datum and appendage configuration before shallow-water planning.
Do not average the conflicting manufacturer figures or convert them into configuration ranges without supporting documentation.
