Default size of sailboat for lake

The formula for maximum boat length is lake width in feet divided by 300

The formula for draft is minimum lake depth offshore -1 foot

How do you determine the maximum size of a sailboat for a lake? Our
lake is 19.6 miles in length, max depth is 183' and max width is
1.9miles.
