1. Sail Area/Displacement Ratio: 18.9

4. Comfort Ratio: 32.2
5. Capsize Screening Formula: 1.8
1. A Sail Area/Displacement Ratio of 18.9 suggests that the Gozzard 41 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 36.6 means that the Gozzard 41 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 238, tells us the Gozzard 41 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 32.2 suggests that crew comfort of a Gozzard 41 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 1.8 tells us that a Gozzard 41 would be a safer choice of sailboat for an ocean passage than one with a CSF of more than 2.0.
