Simply put, the displacement of any boat is the amount of water the hull displaces when it floats. The weight of the water being displaced will be equal to the weight of the boat...assuming it's still floating, that is.

What is a displacement sailboat?

A displacement sailboat is designed to move through the water by displacing a volume of water equal to its weight, rather than planning on top of the water like a lighter, faster boat. These sailboats typically have a fuller hull shape, which provides stability and a smoother ride in rough seas. They are generally slower than planing sailboats but excel in long-distance cruising and are often favored for their comfort and seaworthiness. Displacement sailboats are ideal for leisurely sailing and long voyages due to their capacity to carry heavier loads.
