1. Sail Area/Displacement Ratio: 15.8
2. Ballast/Displacement Ratio: 39.4
3. Displacement/Length Ratio: 239
4. Comfort Ratio: 39.0
5. Capsize Screening Formula: 1.6
1. A Sail Area/Displacement Ratio of 15.8 suggests that the Caliber 47 LRC will need a stiff breeze to get her going. In light conditions, unless you've got plenty of time on your hands, motor-sailing may be the way to go.
2. A Ballast/Displacement Ratio of 39.4 means that the Caliber 47 LRC will initially stand up reasonably well to her canvas in a moderate breeze, but she'll need a reef in the main to avoid heeling excessively in a gust.
3. A Displacement/Length Ratio of 239, tells us the Caliber 47 LRC is a moderate displacement cruiser, which means she'll carry all your cruising gear without it having a dramatic effect on her performance. Most of today's sailboats intended for offshore cruising fall into this displacement category.
4. Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio of 39.0 suggests that crew comfort of a Caliber 47 LRC in a seaway is similar to what you would associate with the motion of a moderate bluewater cruising boat - a predictable and acceptable motion for most seasoned sailors.
5. The Capsize Screening Formula (CSF) of 1.6 tells us that a Caliber 47 LRC would be a safer choice of sailboat for an ocean passage than one with a CSF of more than 2.0.
