Location at St Johns Yacht Harbor in Charleston, SC right off the Intracoastal. Rig and SailsAuxilary power, accomodations, calculations. The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more. Classic hull speed formula: Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL Sail Area / Displacement RatioA measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more. SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3 - SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D : Displacement in pounds.
Ballast / Displacement RatioA measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize. Ballast / Displacement * 100 Displacement / Length RatioA measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more. D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³ - D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
Comfort RatioThis ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more. Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 ) - D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
Capsize Screening FormulaThis formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

Caliber 28''Caliber 28'''' I am looking at a 1986 Caliber 28'' to buy. This would be a first sailboat for me, can anyone tell me if this is a good boat for a beginner? Would it be versatile enough to do some cruising in the Puget Sound and maybe do some coastal cruising? How are these boats looked on for quality? Any information that anyone could provide would be greatly apreciated. Thanks, Ron H. Caliber 28'''' I asked a similar question in the middle of July. I was encouraged to join the caliber message board. I did. Didn''t get any response there, either. They look like great boats but I still don''t know anything about them so I am timid about pursuing it further until I get more INFO. If and when. Sure hope your inquiry gets some good response. I purchased a Caliber 28 after inspecting Catalina & Hunters in the 30 to 33 ft range. Really wanted to purchase a Catalina or Hunter but the 28 appeared in better condition. No regrets! Use for lake sailing - good space - engine accessible. Overall, very pleased.  Caliber boats are long ranage curising boat. Their was was one up on a reff in Hawaii a couple of year ago that the delivery skiper made a huge mistake and missed the reff . They pulled it off and sailed her home with no Repairs. Is it the one in New York? Caliber makes a great boat very well made. Head and shoulders above catilina irwin and hunter. In my opinion one of the best for the money. You should get it surveyed though. As far as a beginners boat i would say a compac 19 would be better but it would not be very good for more than daysailing. good luck Jared Top Contributors this Month | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Beam: 11'4'' Draft: 4'6'' | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Beam: 10.83' Draft: 3.92' | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Beam: 12.67' Draft: 4.92' | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |  | © 2001-2024 ./) . . ./) . . |

A boat with a BN of 1.6 or greater is a boat that will be reefed often in offshore cruising. Derek Harvey, "Multihulls for Cruising and Racing", International Marine, Camden, Maine, 1991, states that a BN of 1 is generally accepted as the dividing line between so-called slow and fast multihulls.
