Survey watch points

Manufacturer publications disagree on key dimensions

medium risk · unresolved · dimensions

2017 launch release and current F55 brochure publish different LOA, hull length, full-load draft, fresh-water, and displacement figures. Root keeps launch lightship displacement only; do not span pubs as a min/max range.

Princess F55 manufacturer materials opened for research do not settle on one LOA, hull length, full-load draft, fresh-water, or displacement figure.

The 2017 launch release (princess-55-launch-release) lists 57 ft 9 in / 17.6 m LOA (incl. pulpit), 56 ft 7 in excl. pulpit, 4 ft 10 in / 1.46 m full-load draft, 161 USG water including calorifier, and 24.6 tonnes / 54,234 lb displacement approx (lightship). The current F55 brochure (princess-f55-current-model-page) lists 58 ft 0 in / 17.68 m LOA, 55 ft 8 in excl. pulpit, 4 ft 7 in / 1.41 m full-load draft, 164 US gal water excluding calorifier, and 30,924 kg / 68,176 lb displacement approx with an asterisk and no exposed load-basis footnote.

Canonical research keeps launch lightship on root displacement_lb_min / displacement_lb_max (same value; not a cross-publication span), records LOA/draft in dimension_variants, and leaves these paths in conflicting_fields instead of inventing midpoints or a fake light→loaded range. For Fort Lauderdale fit or tankage planning, verify the hull's build paperwork.

Confirm which published dimension set matches the surveyed hull build year and brochure revision.
Do not average LOA, hull length, draft, fresh-water capacity, or displacement across manufacturer publications.
Do not treat launch lightship and brochure displacement as a single light-to-loaded range.
Confirm whether fresh-water figures include or exclude the calorifier before comparing tankage.
Confirm displacement load basis on the hull's build paperwork before comparing weights.
