Performance Ratios

On the numbers, 210 rates as ultralight (D/L 90). Its comfort ratio of 13.7 is in the "lightweight racing" band; its ballast/displacement ratio of 49.8% is in the "high" band. Against its peers, D/L stands out: lower than 97% of the 1704 monohulls between 8.2 m and 10.0 m in our catalogue.

Ratios use published displacement (often light ship) and reported sail area; see Sources & methodology.

Hull Speed: 6.36 knots

SA/Displacement (Reported): 28.07

Ballast/Disp Ratio: 49.78%

Ballast/Disp 49.8% — high. Higher than 92% of the 1519 monohulls between 8.2 m and 10.0 m in our catalogue. The share of the boat's weight that is ballast: a higher share generally means a stiffer boat that stands up better to its sail area.

Displacement/Length: 90.14

D/L 90 — ultralight. Lower than 97% of the 1704 monohulls between 8.2 m and 10.0 m in our catalogue. Displacement relative to waterline length: low numbers mean a light boat that accelerates and planes easily, high numbers a heavy boat that carries its weight through a seaway.

Comfort Ratio: 13.73

Comfort ratio 13.7 — lightweight racing. Lower than 93% of the 1704 monohulls between 8.2 m and 10.0 m in our catalogue. An estimate of motion comfort in waves from displacement, beam and length: higher values suggest a slower, gentler motion.

Capsize Screening: 1.77

Capsize screening 1.77 — meets the common offshore guideline. Lower than 80% of the 1739 monohulls between 8.2 m and 10.0 m in our catalogue. A screening formula from beam and displacement: lower is better, and values under 2.0 are the common guideline for offshore boats.

Immersion: 84 kg/cm

Notes

Hunt began racing the prototype in 1940. Further development was delayed by WWII. He resumed development in 1945 and began lining up builders and suppliers. Graves built the first production hull (#2) in 1946.
