1. A Sail Area/Displacement Ratio of 17.6 suggests that the Cascade 36 will, in the right conditions, approach her maximum hull speed readily and satisfy the sailing performance expectations of most cruising sailors.
2. A Ballast/Displacement Ratio of 35.5 means that unless the bulk of the ballast is concentrated in a bulb at the foot of her keel, the Cascade 36 will have a tendency to heel excessively in a gust, and she'll need to be reefed early to keep her sailing upright in a moderate breeze.
3. A Displacement/Length Ratio of 232, tells us the Cascade 36 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 29.1 suggests that crew comfort of a Cascade 36 in a seaway is similar to what you would associate with the motion of a coastal cruiser with moderate stability, which is not encouraging news for anyone prone to seasickness.
5. The Capsize Screening Formula (CSF) of 1.7 tells us that a Cascade 36 would be a safer choice of sailboat for an ocean passage than one with a CSF of more than 2.0.
