What is the maximum number of persons onboard OTH?

• A. 12 persons or 2600 lbs
• B. 13 persons or 2860 lbs
• C. 15 persons or 3000 lbs
• D. 14 persons or 2700 lbs

Answer: (B)

The number of people you can have on board is limited by the vessel’s capacity plate, which lists both a person limit and a weight limit. For OTH, the plate shows 13 persons or 2860 pounds. This means you cannot exceed 13 people aboard, and you cannot exceed a total weight of 2860 pounds (including crew and gear). You must respect either limit, and in this case the maximum number of people is 13. The weight value is the supporting limit that goes with that same capacity, not a separate target to reach with a different number of people.
