Veleros que aguantan el mal tiempo y los que nunca lo haran

Recordamos para los que hayan llegado tarde:

RIESGO DE VUELCO CON TEMPORAL CON OLAS DE MAS DE 3 MTS:



CAPSIZE RATIO

>2 EXISTE

<2 NO EXISTE



Asi de facil:



CAPSIZE RISK = beam/(disp/(.9*64))^.333 Dimensionless. An empirical factor derived by the USYRU after an analysis of the 1979 FASTNET Race. The study concluded that boats with values greater than 2 should not compete in ocean races, due to their high inverted stability. The formula penalizes boats with a wide beam (the most important factor in inverted stability), and light weight boats because of their violent response (low roll moment of inertia) to large waves. It does not indicate anything about static stability
