1. Sail Area/Displacement Ratio: 14.9

1. A Sail Area/Displacement Ratio of just 14.9 suggests that the Westerly Oceanlord 41 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. The Ballast/Displacement Ratio of the Westerly Oceanlord 41 doesn't appear to have been published. If you are able to provide it, please contact us.
3. A Displacement/Length Ratio of 213, tells us the Westerly Oceanlord 41 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 27.4 suggests that crew comfort of a Westerly Oceanlord 41 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 Westerly Oceanlord 41 would be a safer choice of sailboat for an ocean passage than one with a CSF of more than 2.0.
