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)
Shallow draft: 4.5’

The Importance of the Sailboat Comfort Ratio
Are you looking for a sailing boat that will remain comfortable even in rough seas? If so, then understanding the sailboat comfort ratio is critical. This useful metric can help you evaluate the motion comfort level a boat will offer when the waves start rolling.
In this article, we’ll look in-depth at the ratio, its calculation, and its influence on boat length, displacement, and beam. We’ll also discuss the limitations of the metric and helpful tips to determine the best vessel for your needs. Finally, learn how this ratio affects seaworthiness, safety, and other important considerations.
Key Takeaways
- Sailboat comfort ratio is a numerical value that helps predict a boat's motion in rough seas, with higher values indicating a smoother ride.
- The comfort ratio is calculated using a boat's length, displacement, and beam. Generally, larger, heavier boats with wider beams have higher comfort ratios.
- When evaluating a boat's comfort ratio, consider factors like boat size and weight, weight distribution, hull design, rigging, and your personal preferences and sailing style.
- The comfort ratio is a useful metric but has its limitations. Other factors like sea state, weather conditions, and boat design can also impact a boat's motion in rough seas.
- The skipper and crew's skills play a vital role in managing a boat's motion in rough seas, regardless of its comfort ratio.
Understanding Sailboat Comfort Ratio
Before we dive into the nitty-gritty of sailboat comfort ratios, let’s first understand what it means. The ratio is a numerical value that helps us predict a sailboat’s motion in rough seas. A higher ratio indicates a smoother ride, while a lower ratio means the boat might be more susceptible to uncomfortable motions in challenging conditions.
The Science Bit
The formula for calculating the comfort ratio is as follows:
Comfort Ratio = Displacement / (0.65 x (0.7 x LWL + 0.3 x LOA) x B^1.333)
Here, Displacement is the boat’s weight, LWL is the length at the waterline, LOA is the overall length, and B is the beam or the widest part of the boat. As you can see, the ratio considers a boat’s size, weight, and shape.
Boat Length, Displacement, and Beam
The comfort ratio directly correlates with a boat’s length, displacement, and beam. Larger, heavier boats with wider beams generally have higher numbers, indicating they’ll likely provide a smoother ride in rough seas.
Motion in Rough Seas
A higher comfort ratio suggests a boat will be more stable and comfortable when sailing through rough waters . On the other hand, a lower comfort ratio means the boat might be more prone to rolling or pitching, which can be uncomfortable or even dangerous for the crew.
Comparing Yachts
Understanding the comfort ratios of different types of yachts can be beneficial when comparing their performance in rough seas. However, remember that the measure is one of many factors to consider when choosing a sailing boat.
Examples Ratios
Let’s look at some examples to give you a better idea of how it works. A heavy, full-keeled cruising sailboat might have a value of 40 or higher, indicating a smooth and stable ride in rough seas. On the other hand, a lightweight, performance-oriented sailboat might have a value of 20 or lower, meaning it’s more susceptible to motion in challenging conditions.
Evaluating Yacht or Cruiser Comfort
Now that we’ve explored the concept, it’s time to discuss how to evaluate it when choosing your ideal yacht. Remember that personal preferences and sailing styles are significant in this process.
Factors to Consider
When evaluating a boat’s comfort, consider the following factors:
- Boat size and weight : Larger, heavier boats generally have higher ratios, resulting in a smoother ride in rough seas.
- Weight distribution and ballast : A well-designed ballast system helps stabilize a boat , contributing to a higher number.
- Hull design and shape : The hull’s shape influences the boat’s motion in the water. Boats with a fuller shape and deeper draft tend to have a higher number.
- Rigging and sail plan : The type of rigging and sail plan can affect a boat’s stability and motion. For example, a cutter rig is generally more stable than a sloop rig.
- Personal preferences and sailing style : Your personal sailing preferences and style should also be factored into your evaluation.
Boat Design Examples
Different types of sailboats have varying ratios. Here’s a general overview:
- Heavy cruising boat: Value of 40 or higher
- Coastal cruiser sailboats: Value between 30 and 40
- Performance cruisers: Value between 20 and 30
- Racing boats: Value of 20 or lower
Using Comfort Ratio in Sailboat Selection
When selecting a sailboat, consider the comfort ratio and other crucial factors like speed, stability, and maneuverability. Consider what kind of sailing you plan to do and prioritize the most important criteria for your boat. Every sailor has their own preferences and sailing style, so no single approach works for everyone.
Modifying aspects of a sailboat, like weight or the sail plan, can affect its comfort level. Bear this in mind if you’re considering altering an existing boat or buying a new one .
Remember that the Comfort Ratio is not infallible when making your choice. Various elements can contribute to how a boat performs during turbulent waters, so relying solely on the metric may not be wise.
Other Factors Affecting Boat Motion
Apart from the comfort ratio, several other factors can influence a boat’s motion:
- Sea state : The size and frequency of waves in a particular area can impact a boat’s motion, regardless of its comfort ratio.
- Weather conditions : Wind speed, direction, and other weather-related factors can affect how a boat performs in rough seas.
- Boat design : Specific design features, such as a fin keel or a bulbous bow, can influence a boat’s motion even if its comfort ratio remains constant.
The Role of the Skipper and Crew
The skills and experience of the skipper and crew are crucial in managing a boat’s motion in rough seas. A well-trained crew can effectively adjust the sail trim , change course, or use motion-reducing equipment to maintain a comfortable ride, even on a boat with a lower comfort ratio.
Tips for Improving Comfort Onboard
There are various ways to improve comfort onboard a sailboat, irrespective of its comfort ratio:
- Adjusting sail trim : Proper trim can help reduce heeling and minimize motion, making the boat more comfortable in rough seas.
- Using motion-reducing equipment : Devices like sea anchors or drogues can help stabilize a boat in rough conditions, increasing comfort onboard.
- Choosing the right course : The course you choose can significantly impact a boat’s motion. Sailing at an appropriate angle to the waves can help reduce pitching and rolling.
Impact on Safety and Seaworthiness
A higher comfort ratio can help ensure your boat is seaworthy and safe, as a smoother ride in challenging waters reduces the risk of crew fatigue, seasickness, and damaged equipment. However, don’t rely solely on this metric when assessing a vessel’s safety – there are other factors to consider.
Hull integrity is essential for keeping a yacht safe, so regular inspections and maintenance should be part of your routine. Rigging and sails must also be in good shape to handle stress under rough conditions.
Safety gear such as life jackets , flares, fire extinguishers, and an emergency beacon should always be on-board and replaced or serviced when needed. Lastly, proper navigation and communication systems like GPS, VHF radio, and radar can help ensure you remain safe while sailing in open waters.
The sailboat comfort ratio can be beneficial in evaluating how a boat will handle challenging conditions. However, the measure should be one of many criteria when choosing a vessel. Size and weight, weight distribution, hull design, rigging, and your preferences and sailing style are all things to consider. Additionally, remember that a skipper’s skill is essential during turbulent seas.
In summary, it’s essential to consider multiple factors when selecting a sailboat for your needs – comfort ratio included. By balancing these elements, you can make an informed decision and have a safe and enjoyable sailing experience.

Review of Comfortina 32
Basic specs..
Both the hull and the deck is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season. And outside the sailing season, just bottom cleaning and perhaps anti-fouling painting once a year - a few hours of work, that's all. The deck is a double deck which improves the indoor climate.
The interior is like most other boats made of teak. Teak has the advantage of being naturally very oily and therefore water-repellent, which is suitable on boats. The boat is equipped with 3 cabins, 6 berths, a galley, 100.0 liter fresh water capacity and toilet facility. Note: the boat has also been sold to be self-made/-interiored, which means that the quality of each boat may vary.
The Comfortina 32 is equipped with a fin keel. The fin keel is the most common keel and provides splendid manoeuvrability. The downside is that it has less directional stability than a long keel.
The keel is made of lead. Compared with iron, lead has the advantage of being 44% heavier, which allows a smaller keel and hence less water resistance and higher speed.
Comfortina 32 can enter most marinas as the draft is just about 1.70 - 1.80 meter (5.58 - 5.88 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.
The boat is typically equipped with an inboard Volvo Penta 2002 diesel engine at 18.0 hp (13 kW), which gives a max speed about 4.8 knots.
The transmission is a saildrive.
The fuel tank which is made of stainless steel has a capacity of 65.0 liters (17 US gallons, 14 imperial gallons).
Sailing characteristics
This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.
What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?
The capsize screening value for Comfortina 32 is 1.95, indicating that this boat could - if evaluated by this formula alone - be accepted to participate in ocean races.
What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?
The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 6.6 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.
The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Comfortina 32 is about 164 kg/cm, alternatively 920 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 164 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 920 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.
