The Main Cat 41 has a dwl of 40.5, and a rather svelte hull beam length ratio of 10.5. It is somewhat heavy loaded, at a DL ratio of 129. The square root of its waterline is 6.36. At 8.65 knots, it is going at a 1.36 times the DWL square root. Of course, 18 knots is a lot of wind. Times 24 hours, that would be a 208 NM day.
