1. A Sail Area/Displacement Ratio of 18.2 suggests that the Pearson 39-2 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 40.5 means that the Pearson 39-2 will stand up well to her canvas in a blow, helping her to power through the waves.
3. A Displacement/Length Ratio of 246, tells us the Pearson 39-2 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 26.9 suggests that crew comfort of a Pearson 39-2 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 1.9 tells us that a Pearson 39-2 would be a safer choice of sailboat for an ocean passage than one with a CSF of more than 2.0.
