Performance Ratios

On the numbers, 2.4 Meter rates as light (D/L 155). Its comfort ratio of 20.3 is in the "coastal cruiser" band; its ballast/displacement ratio of 58.3% is in the "high" band. Against its peers, Capsize screening stands out: lower than 100% of the 410 monohulls between 3.5 m and 4.7 m in our catalogue.

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

Hull Speed: 4.64 knots
SA/Displacement (Reported): 18.02
Ballast/Disp Ratio: 58.33%

Ballast/Disp 58.3% — high. Higher than 92% of the 48 monohulls between 3.5 m and 4.7 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: 155.01

D/L 155 — light. Higher than 92% of the 211 monohulls between 3.5 m and 4.7 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: 20.28

Comfort ratio 20.3 — coastal cruiser. Higher than 99% of the 211 monohulls between 3.5 m and 4.7 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: 1.26

Capsize screening 1.26 — meets the common offshore guideline. Lower than 100% of the 410 monohulls between 3.5 m and 4.7 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: 20 kg/cm
