1. A Sail Area/Displacement Ratio of just 15.8 suggests that the Island Packet Estero 36 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 38.9 means that unless the bulk of the ballast is concentrated in a bulb at the foot of her keel, the Island Packet Estero 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 277, tells us the Island Packet Estero 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 31.9 suggests that crew comfort of an Island Packet Estero 36 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 an Island Packet Estero 36 would be a safer choice of sailboat for an ocean passage than one with a CSF of more than 2.0.
