![]() S# first appeared (that we know of) in TellTales, April 1988, “On a Scale of One to Ten” by A.P. The displacement in cubic feet can be found by dividing the displacement in pounds by 64. ![]() The lower the better.ĬSF = Beam/Disp (cubic ft)^.333. The boat is better suited for ocean passages (vs coastal cruising) if the result of the calculation is 2.0 or less. The CSF compares beam with displacement since excess beam contributes to capsize and heavy displacement reduces capsize vulnerability. 3 LOA) x Beam^1.33), where displacement is expressed in pounds, and length is expressed in feet.ĭesigned to determine if a boat has blue water capability. Over 50 indicates an extremely heavy bluewater boat.Ĭomfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL +. Numbers below 20 indicate a lightweight racing boat ģ0 to 40 indicates a moderate bluewater cruising boat Ĥ0 to 50 indicates a heavy bluewater boat Consider, though, that the typical summertime coastal cruiser will rarely encounter the wind and seas that an ocean going yacht will meet. It is based on the fact that the faster the motion the more upsetting it is to the average person. It provides a reasonable comparison between yachts of similar size and type. This is a ratio created by Ted Brewer as a measure of motion comfort. The lower a boat's Displacement/Length (LWL) ratio, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed. Prior to this year, Bermuda last hosted the Optinam in 2002 which was won by local sailor and future Olympian Jessie Kirkland.A sail area/displacement ratio below 16 would be considered under powered ġ6 to 20 would indicate reasonably good performance Ībove 20 suggests relatively high performance.Ī Ballast/Displacement ratio of 40 or more translates into a stiffer, more powerful boat that will be better able to stand up to the wind.īal./Disp = ballast (lbs)/ displacement (lbs)*100 USA II won the North American Team Racing Championship while Singapore claimed the Nations Cup trophy involving non-North American countries during the largest one-design regatta ever held in local waters. Argentina’s Martina Pisani rounded off the top three and finished as the top female in the fleet. “The future looks very good for Bermuda.”Īrgentina's Dante's Cittadini won the regatta by comfortable 12-point margin over nearest rival Samuel Neo (Singapore). “I was also impressed by the younger sailors and the way they handled their first IODA championships,” Jenkins added. Mikey Wolmann (82), brother of Ceci, Tayte Stefaniuk (90) and Camille Chin Gurrent (99) all placed among the top 100 sailors. “Joe Arrowsmith's top 50 performance was fantastic, including his two top ten finishes, one being a bullet.” “Campbell Patton improved each day and ended up in 38th place with two top ten races and another two finishes in the top 20,” added Jenkins. Patton finished 38th and Arrowsmith ten spots back in 48th. Jenkins was also impressed with the performances of Campbell Patton, son of veteran Etchells sailor Tim Patton, and Joe Arrowsmith who both placed among the top 50 sailors. ![]() ![]() “They sailed well and made their country proud with eight top ten finishes between them, six of them in top five.” "I was very happy that Chase and Ceci lived up to their potential and made it to the podium,” commented Bermuda coach Martin Jenkins. Saltus student Wolmann posted three top-three finishes that included a bullet during the international regatta while Warwick Academy’s Cooper produced two podium displays. Wolmann also did herself and the Island proud after finishing as the top North American female and ninth overall. Sailing stars Chase Cooper and Ceci Wolmann underlined their potential, producing podium displays at the recently concluded IODA North American Championships held in Bermuda.Ĭooper, Bermuda’s Optimist Dinghy Association’s (BODA) 2012 Sailor of the Year, placed fifth overall in 177-boat Optimist fleet and second among the North American sailors. ![]()
