Amica 44 is typically equipped with a diesel engine at 30.0 kW (40 hp).
Sailing characteristics
This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.
What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?
The capsize screening value for Amica 44 is 1.67, indicating that this boat could - if evaluated by this formula alone - be accepted to participate in ocean races.
The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level.
The immersion rate for Amica 44 is about 326 kg/cm, alternatively 1829 lbs/inch.
Meaning: if you load 326 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm.
