1. A Sail Area/Displacement Ratio of just 11.7 suggests that the LM 30 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. In the absence of published ballast details for the LM 30 we are unable to calculate the Ballast/Displacement Ratio.
3. A Displacement/Length Ratio of 272, tells us the LM 30 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. Most of today's sailboats intended for offshore cruising fall into the moderate displacement category.
4. Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio of 28.4 suggests that crew comfort of a LM 30 in a seaway is similar to what you would associate with the motion of a coastal cruiser with moderate stability, which is not the best of news for anyone prone to seasickness.
5. The Capsize Screening Formula (CSF) of 1.8 indicates that a LM 30 would be a safer choice of sailboat for an ocean passage than one with a CSF of more than 2.0.
