RATIOS:
- Prismatic Coefficient: 0.555 feet
- Fineness Coefficient: 0.676
- Capsize Screening factor: 1.82
- Weight to sink the boat 1¨: 1340 lbs.
- Waterline Area: 251.5 sq. feet
- M.T. 1¨: 1085 ft./lb.
- Hull Speed: 7.95 knots
1.34 * LWL^1/2
1.34 * 35.20^1/2
- Displacement / Length Ratio: 205
displacement (long tons) / (0.01 * LWL)^3
(20000 / 2240) / (0.01 * 35.20)^3
- Sail Area to Displacement ratio: 17.20
sail area (sq. ft) / displacement (cu. ft)^2/3
791 / (20000 / 64 lbs/cu ft)^(2/3)
- Comfort ratio (Brewer, page 8): 29.93 (average cruisers are 30-40, racers
are below 20)
displacement / (0.65 * (0.7 * LWL + 0.3 * LOA) * beam^1.333)
20000 / (0.65 * (0.7 * 35.20 + 0.3 * 38.25) * 12.333^1.333)
- Ballast Ratio: 0.4 (0.25 to 0.5, 0.4 suggests more emphasis
on gravity stability than form stability)
ballast / displacement
8000 / 20000
- Capsize Risk: 0.1097
beam / (displacement / 0.9 * 64) ^ 0.333
12.333 / (20000 / 0.9 * 64) ^ 0.333
- Fineness: 3.1 (3.0 - 4.0 and above suggests a long and slender hull which
promotes easy motion, high speed (low drag), and good balance when heeled.)
LOA / beam
38.25 / 12.333
NOTE: Whenever displacement is used in these formulas they refer to long
tons which are 2240 lbs. per long ton.
