1. Sail Area/Displacement Ratio: 13.9

4. Comfort Ratio: 33.5
5. Capsize Screening Formula: 1.8
1. A Sail Area/Displacement Ratio of 13.9 suggests that the C&C Landfall 42 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 41.9 means that the C&C Landfall 42 will stand up well to her canvas in a blow, helping her to power through the waves.
3. A Displacement/Length Ratio of 347, tells us the C&C Landfall 42 is clearly a heavy displacement cruising boat. You can load her down with all your cruising gear and equipment and it will hardly affect her waterline. Not an ideal choice for coastal sailing, but she'll come into her own on an offshore passage in testing conditions.
4. Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio of 33.5 suggests that crew comfort of a xxxx 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 a C&C Landfall 42 would be a safer choice of sailboat for an ocean passage than one with a CSF of more than 2.0.
