Survey watch points

Air draft unpublished on OEM pages

medium risk · unresolved · documentation

Neither UK nor America OEM pages publish air draft / bridge clearance for the S65 sportbridge.

OEM specification tables list LOA, beam, draft, displacement, tanks, and engines but no air draft. Canonical air_draft_ft retains the prior catalog overlay (17 ft) as a canal-screening hint only and is marked risky / missing OEM provenance.

Confirm actual air draft with dealer/survey before fixed-bridge transit; catalog overlay is screening-only.

America S65_v3.asp publishes conflicting LOA/draft vs UK OEM

medium risk · unresolved · documentation

The S65_v3.asp America mirror lists LOA 66ft 10in and draft 4ft 9in with MAN V8 1200 / 38-knot copy, while UK OEM and America S65.asp publish 67ft 7in / 5ft 5in with MAN V12-1400.

Canonical envelope keeps UK OEM / America S65.asp values (loa_ft 67.58, draft_ft 5.42). The S65_v3.asp mirror is recorded as a documentation conflict only and is not used for canonical fields.

Prefer UK OEM / America S65.asp principal dimensions; treat S65_v3.asp as a corrupted mirror until Princess corrects it.
