| capsize ratio
CAPSIZE RATIO = BEAM / (DISPLACEMENT / 64) 0.333 Is this formula overly simplified? Wouldn't keel design have a significant influence? IE. full keel vs.fin, amount of ballast, lead vs.iron, placement of ballast and etc.? Furthermore, what effects would heavily provisioning for an extended cruise have on this formula? Scott |
