Sailboat Calculations

Sail Area to Displacement Ratio14.51A sail area/displacement ratio below 16 would be considered under powered
Ballast to Displacement Ratio33.41A Ballast/Displacement ratio of 40 or more translates into a stiffer, more powerful boat that will be better able to stand up to the wind.
Displacement to Length Ratio279.85The lower a boat’s Displacement/Length (LWL) ratio, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed.
275-350 = Heavy
Comfort Ratio45.7340 to 50 indicates a heavy bluewater boat.
S#1.69Under 2 – Slow, under powered.
