SA/D Ratio is the sail area/displacement ratio. This ratio indicates how fast the boat is in light wind. The higher the number the faster the boat.
* Cruising Boats have ratios between 10 and 15.
* Cruiser-Racers have ratios between 16-20.
* Racers have ratios above 20.
* High-Performance Racers have ratios above 24.

How do you calculate the sail area to displacement ratio for a sailboat?
Just divide a boat's sail area in square feet by its wetted surface area in square feet (SA/WS = SA ÷ WS),
what is the ratio of sail to boat length?
A D/L ratio is calculated by dividing a boat's displacement in long tons (2,240 pounds) by one one-hundredth of the waterline length (in feet) cubed.
Numerical ratio of displacement to distance?
The ratio is 1.
What is the ratio of magnitudes of distance and displacement?
There's no firm relationship between the magnitudes of distance and displacement, except that displacement can never be greater than distance. So if you're looking for a ratio, I guess (distance)/(displacement) = or > 1
What is the ratio of variable displacement axial piston hydraulic pump and variable displacement bent axis hydraulic motor?
These have to do with the hydraulic density. In automobile, the density increases therefore making the hydraulic ratio to displace more than any hydraulic ratio in a displacement.
How many horse in 205cc?
There isn't a set displacement to horsepower ratio - hence, horsepower can't be determined by displacement alone.
How does the area of the sail affect how quickly a model boat sails?
how does the area of the sail affect how a model boat sail
What is the difference between displacement and hull weight on s sail boat?
Displacement: The weight of the water the boat displaces. Hull weight: The weight of the hull of the boat
What is the numerical ratio of displacement to distance for a moving object?
1 is to 1
What is the ratio of cgs unit to si unit of displacement?
12:3
What is the ratio of an object's displacement to the interval during which the displacement occurred?
It's not always the same number. But whatever that ratio happens to be in a specific situation, it can never be less than ' 1 '.
How are perimeter ratio and area ratio related?
Perimeter ratio is: is a path that surrounds an area and area ratio is: Area ratio is the cross sectional area of the nozzle exit divided by the cross sectional area of the nozzle throat.
