1. Sail Area/Displacement Ratio: 16.0
2. Ballast/Displacement Ratio: 37.0
3. Displacement/Length Ratio: 235
4. Comfort Ratio: 27.3
5. Capsize Screening Formula: 2.0
1. A Sail Area/Displacement Ratio of 16.0 suggests that the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 44 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 37.0 means that a sailboat like the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 44 (which doesn't have a stiffness-enhancing bulb keel), is likely to benefit from being reefed early to keep her sailing upright in a moderate breeze.
3. A Displacement/Length Ratio of 235, tells us the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 44 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 27.3 suggests that crew comfort of a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 44 in a seaway is similar to what you would associate with the motion of a coastal cruiser with moderate stability, which is not encouraging news for anyone prone to seasickness.
5. The Capsize Screening Formula of 2.0 tells us that a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 44 would not be as good a choice of sailboat for ocean passage-making, owing to the increased risk of capsize in strong winds and heavy seas, when compared to a sailboat with a CSF of less than 2.0.
