Does anyone have any figures for the levels of vibration felt on a yacht excluding those generated by the engines (or I suppose including it with some idea of engine induced vibration)? Ideally I'm after figures for Cats and Monos from 6m up to 20m both under sail and and moored/docked.

I am working on a project to put auxiliary electric drives on a catamaran and want to be sure of the vibration levels the electronics will see.

Any information (especially with numbers) would be useful and any links to other sites with this sort of geeky stuff would also be appreciated.
