Elliott 6M is a 20 ′ 3 ″ / 6.2 m monohull sailboat designed by Greg Elliott and built by McConaghy Boats starting in 2000.
Rig and Sails
Auxilary 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 Ratio
A 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 Ratio
A 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 Ratio
A 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 Ratio
This 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 Formula
This 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.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
A modifed version was used at the 2012 Olympics.(Women’s keelboat match racing).

London 2012 Olympics: Elliot 6m
| The Elliott 6m will make its Olympic debut at Weymouth in the women’s match racing class. Designed by New Zealand’s Greg Elliott, the Olympic boat is a modified version of the Elliott previously used at World match racing events. The rig and sail area have been reduced from the original design to allow sailing in a greater wind range with a maximum crew weight of 205kg. The fixed keel has also been changed to allow for lifting or removal. The boats fly conventional spinnakers on a pole downwind.The match racing format is different from the other sailing events, and has appeared at the Games before but only as a past men’s event. Rather than fleet racing, the boats sail one-on-one, first through a series of round-robins, and then it’s into a knockout type event where the winning team in a series of five ‘matches’ goes through each time. It requires particular tactical skill, as speed is only part of a successful race, there are plenty of opportunities for a more tactically skilled sailor to force an error. Watching the event you will notice that there is a period before the start when the boats are ‘duelling’ for position. 2012 might be the debut of women’s match racing, but its Olympic appearance looks like it will be brief as it isn’t scheduled to appear again in 2016. Keelboat sailing is generally more expensive, which is much of the reason behind its removal for 2016

As well as progressing through the dinghy classes in the UK, they are all from bigger boat racing families – the Macgregor sisters in particular spent plenty of time yacht racing with their father. Lucy started off crewing for older sister Nicky in a 420, finished second at the worlds in 2004, which put her into the RYA’s Olympic Development Squad. From 470s, Lucy moved into the Yngling, and then showed her match racing prowess winning the Delta-Lloyd regatta in 2009. In 2010 Kate joined the team, and having sailed with a few crew configurations, settled for the dynamic combination of her younger sister and the experienced Annie Lush. Together they won the 2010 worlds and showed their potential. Annie has been competing on the women’s international keelboat circuit for nine years and sailed in three different keelboat campaigns. Annie and Lucy crewed for Shirley Robertson in her 2008 campaign, missing out on the Olympic berth in 2008 to Sarah Ayton.

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.
