Stability and Safety

What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?

The capsize screening value for Tayana 58 DS is 1.76, indicating that this boat could - if evaluated by this formula alone - be accepted to participate in ocean races.


Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed

What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 9.1 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.


Immersion rate

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Tayana 58 DS is about 459 kg/cm, alternatively 2573 lbs/inch.
Meaning: if you load 459 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 2573 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.
