How many axes are required on boats 24m or longer?

One
Two
Three
Four

The correct answer is: Two

Boats 24m or longer require two axes to ensure proper stability. One axis would not provide enough stability, while three or four axes would be excessive and unnecessary. Boats with only one axis may be prone to swaying and capsizing in rough waters, while boats with three or four axes may be overcompensating and restricting movement. Therefore, the most efficient and effective option is to have two axes on boats 24m or longer.
