1. Sail Area/Displacement Ratio: 22.2
2. Ballast/Displacement Ratio: 43.7
3. Displacement/Length Ratio: 204
4. Comfort Ratio: 26.6
5. Capsize Screening Formula: 1.9
1. A Sail Area/Displacement Ratio of 22.2 suggests that, in the right hands, the Dehler 43 CWS will have enough performance to leave most other sailboats of similar waterline length well astern.
2. A Ballast/Displacement Ratio of 43.7 means that the Dehler 43 CWS will stand up well to her canvas in a blow, helping her to power through the waves.
3. A Displacement/Length Ratio of 204, tells us the Dehler 43 CWS 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 26.6 suggests that crew comfort of a Dehler 43 CWS in a seaway is similar to what you would associate with the motion of a coastal cruiser with moderate stability, which is not the best of news for anyone prone to seasickness.
5. The Capsize Screening Formula (CSF) of 1.9 indicates that a Dehler 43 CWS would be a safer choice of sailboat for an ocean passage than one with a CSF of more than 2.0.
