1. A Sail Area/Displacement Ratio of 15.8 suggests that the Hallberg-Rassy 46 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 40.0 means that the Hallberg-Rassy 46 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 273, tells us the Hallberg-Rassy 46 is a moderate-to-heavy displacement cruiser, which means she'll carry all your cruising gear without it having a dramatic effect on her performance. Many of today's sailboats intended for long-distance cruising fall into this displacement category.
4. Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio of 39.0 suggests that crew comfort of a Hallberg-Rassy 46 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 1.7 tells us that a Hallberg-Rassy 46 would be a safer choice of sailboat for an ocean passage than one with a CSF of more than 2.0.
