read more about these Key Performance Indicators...
1. A Sail Area/Displacement Ratio of just 13.4 suggests that the Moody 36S 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 a published Ballast/Displacement Ratio for the Moody 36S we are unable to make any meaningful assessment of her stiffness under sail.
3. A Displacement/Length Ratio of 243, tells us the Moody 36S 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 25.1 suggests that crew comfort of a Moody 36S 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 (CSF) of 2.0 indicates that a Moody 36S would not be the wisest choice of sailboat for ocean passage-making owing to the lower resistance to capsize in strong winds and heavy seas that is associated with sailboats with a CSF of 2.0 and above.
