1. Sail Area/Displacement Ratio: 20.7
2. Ballast/Displacement Ratio: 33.4
3. Displacement/Length Ratio: 240
4. Comfort Ratio: 36.6
5. Capsize Screening Formula: 1.8
1. A Sail Area/Displacement Ratio of 20.7 suggests that, in the right hands, the Tayana 47 will have enough performance to leave most other sailboats of similar waterline length well astern.
2. A Ballast/Displacement Ratio of 33.4 means that the Tayana 47 will have a tendency to heel excessively in a gust, and she'll need to be reefed early to keep her sailing upright in a moderate breeze.
3. A Displacement/Length Ratio of 240, tells us the Tayana 47 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 33.6 suggests that crew comfort of a Tayana 47 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 Tayana 47 would be a safer choice of sailboat for an ocean passage than one with a CSF of more than 2.0.
