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.

You should also take a look around at what other boats people are doing serious cruising in. The boat most likely to capsize is the one that has been put into a situation where it doesn't belong, and shouldn't have been taken. Go to a place where serious cruisers hang out and get to know some of them. You will learn a lot if you listen. |

(The lower the better) The Catalina is least stable. There are no comfort figures here but the can be worked out at: http://www.image-ination.com/sailcalc.html http://www.sailingusa.info/design_winds.htm I think the Tayana with the pilothouse will recover very fast.

The AVS for all these boat sucks. The Catalina and Tayana can barely go below horizontal! Not good or not right! Tayana claims a much better AVS than this. Gaz Check out: http://www.image-ination.com/sailcalc.html Calculate this stuff yourself. Thanks Gary. The AVS value of 110 degrees for Tayana Vancouver 460 was given to me by Tayana along with the report shown on my web page at http://tayana46.tripod.com/safety.htm. Looking at the curve at the bottom of this web page wouldn't you say that this is the correct value ? The AVS numbers for the Beneteau 473 and Catalina 42 mark II were taken from: http://www.rya.org.uk/images/uploade...e_10_11_05.pdf |

Does it matter? Are you actually planning on sailing out of the bay or
river you live on? Most yacht owners day sail or spend a week in sheltered bays and never put to sea. My guess is you will be doing the same. All that is left is Rhetoric.

Danny,
Unfortunatly I am periously close to Poopie (love the spelling.) Last year I bought a bunch of land in Nova Scotia, a 20 year old 33' custom steel cutter, and moved one to the other. Never sailed before but lots of time on stink pots. Anyway I got there, after about a week. A little over 400 miles, on the chart. I think you are right that he is trolling for amusement. But it IS amusing. Not only his posts but the dead serious answers intermixed with the others who have "outed" him. And, you gotta admit, he must have the hide of a rhino. Or is it brain.

Which boat is most likely to capsize ?
The Angle of vanishing stability,Ballast/displacement and
the Capsize screening ratio are useful in choosing a sailboat. However, I would not take all these calculated ratio's for granted. How can you validate these ratio's. The best thing is to corroborate the designs in real situation. This is very difficult to accomplish. How can you duplicate a real situation. Computer simulations can be helpful to validate your design to a certain extent but never at 100%. Sea trials, track records and past performance in all imaginable conditions can be very useful to corroborate computer simulations and to confirm applicable ratio's. wrote in message . net... 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 :-) |

Which boat is most likely to capsize ?
Danny,
I wish I knew how the sailing was. I live in Philadelphia and my wife said I had to keep my mistress at a fair distance. Thus she sits on the hard in Sydney, NS. But this summer, I get a month off, 200 miles to St. Pierre and Bastille Day, then back along the south coast of Newfoundland. If my steel hull "thwangs" when I bump you may hear me unaided where you live. I can attest to the fog in SE Nova Scotia. I could see the variations in fog density in an arms length and one evening I litteraly saw the shadow of my sails on the edge of a fog bank. I throughly under estimated the variation in temperature. Several tmes, within an hour, I went from shorts to full fleece and gear to shorts. I was lucky to stay dry for I didn't bring half enough warm clothes had things gone south. |
Which boat is most likely to capsize ?
I'm waiting for Robert Harris, the designer of the Tayana Vancouver 460, to explain to me why I shouldn't be too concerned about the stability of this boat and will let you know what he has to say. If you still think I'm a troll just call the Tayana and Beneteau dealers in San Diego and ask if Popeye has come to see them. |

I'm going to build a house on Lanta Island and may want to live aboard while the house is under construction. I've read the book "The Voyage of the Northern Magic" about a Canadian family's circumnavigating the globe. Their entire sailing experience before they departed was six afternoons on the Ottawa River. So there's no reason why I couldn't make it across the Pacific with 1-2 years sailing experience. |
