Sailboat Calculations
× Hull Speed Max Formula
HS = 1.34 × √LWL (in feet)
The maximum speed of a displacement hull (referring to a hull that travels through the water rather than on top of it, e.g. planing).
× Pounds per Inch Immersion Formula
PPI = LWL Area × 5.333
The weight required to sink the yacht one inch. Calculated by multiplying the LWL area by 5.333 for sea water or 5.2 for fresh water.
Hull Speed Max, knots 3.73ℹ️
Pounds per Inch Immersion, lbs/inch 110.74ℹ️
