They will probably be based on the same assumptions that modern methods use, as well as new

assumptions about weather parameters like the possible magnitudes and durations of wind gusts.The
color code matrix is one of the graphical models that the project proposes.Color coding is used to
indicate the level of risk in this format (see figure 6).The following risk levels are suggested to be
represented by the fundamental colors.Green:indicates a heel-to-deck immersion angle.Yellow:indicates
that while the heel angle remains within the MCA code's safe zone, the deck edge is likely to be
submerged.Orange:indicates a heel angle that is higher than the limit set by the MCA code but lower
than the angle that is required for bulwark immersion.Red:indicates a heel angle that is between 84%
and 100% of the maximum GZ and poses a significant weather-related risk of flooding through
hatches.Black:indicates sailing at a heel angle equal to or greater than GZ maximum.The position within
each color band provides additional risk indicators for all color zones.3.Exposition of Various Criteria In
this section, seven nations' regulations will be discussed.Since the other rules are simple to obtain, only
the Spanish ones are included in appendix B.
