DESIGN CHARACTERISTIC PROFILEHigh-Performance Racing Yacht

Very powerful sail plan relative to hull weight. Demands skilled active sail trim to avoid overpowering.

Hydrodynamic Formula

SADR is computed by dividing the Sail Area in square feet by the vessel’s displacement in cubic feet of sea water raised to the 2/3 power.

SADR = SailArea (ft²) / [ Displacement (lbs) / 64 ]^(2/3)
