The Endeavour 32 certainly deserves it's high rating. ...
Oh aye, who could argue that the 32 anything but 6.81 more comforts (pounds per feet to the two-thirds) than than the 33? Seriously, the E 32 is a fine boat but the comfort number in and of itself is BS. Brewer talks about the CR on his web site http://www.tedbrewer.com/yachtdesign.html and says "This is a ratio that I dreamed up, tongue-in-cheek, as a measure of motion comfort.." He goes on to rationalize about how it might be valid anyway, but fails to note that he is not at all disinterested in this since his narrow heavy and slow designs compete directly with the notably wider, lighter and faster designs. His formula puts "super heavy vessel[s], such as a Colin Archer ketch" at the top of the comfort scale. Such vessels are unlivable running deep in a seaway or riding out a calm, and they manage to be slow and unweatherly as well. Can they really be the pinnacle of comfort? -- Tom. |
