1. A Sail Area/Displacement Ratio of 18.6 suggests that the Sweden Yachts 390 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 41.4 means that the Sweden Yachts 390 will stand up well to her canvas in a blow, helping her to power through the waves.
3. A Displacement/Length Ratio of 239, tells us the Sweden Yachts 390 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 26.0 suggests that crew comfort of a Sweden Yachts 390 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 indicates that a Sweden Yachts 390 would be a safer choice of sailboat for an ocean passage than one with a CSF of more than 2.0.
