I include in this post  a yacht report made by Bob Pone  a few years ago  and the most interesting thing is the concept of capsize vulnerability which is a formula created by the committee of the cruising  Club of America and was used after  the fastnet race disaster. This is a formula  that was supposed to determine if a boat had  blue water  capability a and for doing that  the formula compares beam  with displacement. The capsize ratio  indicates the  ability  that a boat will recover from  an inverted, capsized position.
