Sailboat Calculations
× S.A. / Displacement Formula
SA/D = SA (ft²) ÷ [Disp (lbs) / 64]^0.666
A sail area/displacement ratio below 16 would be considered under powered; 16 to 20 would indicate reasonably good performance; above 20 suggests relatively high performance.
× Capsize Screening Formula
CSF = Beam ÷ (Disp in cubic ft)^(1/3)
Designed to determine if a boat has blue water capability. The CSF compares beam with displacement since excess beam contributes to capsize and heavy displacement reduces capsize vulnerability. The boat is better suited for ocean passages (vs coastal cruising) if the result of the calculation is 2.0 or less. The lower the better.

Rig and Sail Particulars
× S.A. Fore Formula
S.A. Fore = I * J / 2
This is the area of the fore triangle, calculated by multiplying I and J and dividing by 2.
× S.A. Main Formula
S.A. Main = P * E / 2
This is the area of the main triangle, calculated by multiplying P and E and dividing by 2.
× S.A. Total Formula
S.A. Total = S.A. Fore + S.A. Main
This is the sum of the fore and main sail areas.
× Forestay Length Formula
Est. Forestay Length = √(I² + J²)
This is the length of the forestay, calculated using the Pythagorean theorem.
