Sail plan, sail condition and actual loading affect behaviour. A single number cannot predict performance.

Comfort and behaviour at sea

The indicators below help compare proportions. Interpret them alongside hull shape, mass distribution, loading, condition and sailing conditions.

Comfort Ratio Comfort Ratio	—	Insufficient compatible data
Capsize Screening Formula Capsize Screening Formula	1.9	Calculation & limits beam_ft / (displacement_lb / 64)^(1/3) conventional-monohull-v1 A conventional indicator calculated from this configuration's published data. It is neither a safety certification nor a prediction of an individual boat's condition. Input sources are shown with the corresponding specifications.

These calculations are not safety certificates. STIX and AVS require specific documentation; they are not estimated from these ratios.
