How To Read A Classification

The document discusses how to read a yacht classification from Lloyd's Register. It explains that a classification provides value for insurance purposes and can help when selling a yacht. It then examines the details of a sample classification from Lloyd's, which includes symbols and terms that indicate the yacht was built to Lloyd's standards, its type, size, and that its machinery and engineering systems allow it to operate unattended.
