Which boat is most likely to capsize ?
Based on those numbers (which are highly theoretical);
The Tayana will be a bit have a more comfortable motion but most possible of capsize and slower to recover. The Catalina will be stiffer and harder to turn over, may turn turtle in a major knock down but faster to recover. The Beneteau will be between on comfort and can handle a more severe knock down but will recover slower than the Catalina and faster than the Tayana. You need to get over the buy now fever and invest in a few books. . -- Glenn Ashmore I'm building a 45' cutter in strip/composite.

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 |
