1. Sail Area/Displacement Ratio: 17.5
2. Ballast/Displacement Ratio: 46.3
3. Displacement/Length Ratio: 251
4. Comfort Ratio: 39.2
5. Capsize Screening Formula: 1.7
1. A Sail Area/Displacement Ratio of 17.5 suggests that the Hallberg-Rassy 49 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 46.3 means that the Hallberg-Rassy 49 will stand up well to her canvas in a blow, helping her to power through the waves.
3. A Displacement/Length Ratio of 251, tells us the Hallberg-Rassy 49 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 39.2 suggests that crew comfort of a Hallberg-Rassy 49 in a seaway is similar to what you would associate with the motion of a moderate offshore cruising boat - a predictable and acceptable motion for most seasoned sailors.
5. The Capsize Screening Formula (CSF) of 1.7 indicates that a Hallberg-Rassy 49 would be a safer choice of sailboat for an ocean passage than one with a CSF of more than 2.0.
