Performance Ratios

On the numbers, SUPER MISTRAL SPORT (AMEL) rates as light (D/L 137). Its comfort ratio of 13.4 is in the "lightweight racing" band; its ballast/displacement ratio of 44.1% is in the "high" band. Against its peers, D/L stands out: lower than 78% of the 1072 monohulls between 6.4 m and 7.8 m in our catalogue.

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

Hull Speed: 6.07 knots

SA/Displacement (Reported): 16.18

Ballast/Disp Ratio: 44.14%

Ballast/Disp 44.1% — high. Higher than 77% of the 984 monohulls between 6.4 m and 7.8 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: 136.91

D/L 137 — light. Lower than 78% of the 1072 monohulls between 6.4 m and 7.8 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: 13.39

Comfort ratio 13.4 — lightweight racing. Lower than 57% of the 1072 monohulls between 6.4 m and 7.8 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: 2.14

Capsize screening 2.14 — above the guideline. Lower than 62% of the 1134 monohulls between 6.4 m and 7.8 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: 97 kg/cm
