Ratios (Super-geek numbers)
 
Ratio Value Description
SA/D: 25.9 Sail Area to Displacement. Ratio of sail area to volume of water displaced by the hull. An indication of power. Lower numbers mean less power.
D/L: 67.5 Displacement to Length. Ratio of volume of water displaced to the waterline length. An indication of how well the boat performs in light wind. Higher numbers mean lower performance.
P/N stability area: 2.594 The ratio of area under the positive portion of the stability curve to the area under the negative stability curve. Higher is better.
L/B: 3.64 Length to Beam. An indicator of how "fat" the boat is. 3 is "fat", while 4 is "skinny."
B/D: 0.33 Ballast/Displacement. Percentage of overall weight in ballast. A higher number generally means a stiffer boat.
