Which boat is most likely to capsize ?
wrote:
TAYANA VANCOUVER 460 PILOT
Angle of vanishing stability = 110 degrees
Ballast/displacement = 0.24
Capsize screening ratio = 1.57
BENETEAU 473
Angle of vanishing stability = 119 degrees
Ballast/displacement = 0.34
Capsize screening ratio = 1.96
CATALINA 42 MARK II
Angle of vanishing stability = 105 degrees
Ballast/displacement = 0.39
Capsize screening ratio = 1.97
ETAP 46DS (standard deep keel)
Angle of vanishing stability = 129 degrees
Ballast/displacement ratio = 0.32
Capsize screening ratio = 1.92
Maybe I'll just get a Tayana for now and get an unsinkable
ETAP later when I have more money and want to sail across
an ocean :-)
