The same formula as the Radial is kept. The hull is the same as the Standard and Radial. The optimal weight for this rig is 110–145 pounds (50–66 kg), thus becoming an ideal boat for young sailors moving from the Optimist/RS Tera who are still too light for a normal Laser.
The Laser 4.7 or ILCA 4 is a one-design dinghy class in the Laser series and is a one-design class of sailboat. All Lasers are built to the same specifications. The Laser is 4.06 m (13 ft 10 in) long, with a waterline length of 3.81 m (12 ft 6 in).
The Optimist was designed in 1947 either by American Clark Mills or a Canadian sailor Gordon Reid a member of the Royal Canadian Yacht Club and the Clearwater Optimist Club [3] at the request of the Clearwater Florida Optimist service club following a proposal by Major Clifford McKay to offer low-cost sailing for young people.
Small yachts are typically shorter than 33 feet (10 m) length overall. [36] Trailer sailers that are readily towed by a car are generally shorter than 25 feet (7.6 m) length overall and weigh less than 5,000 pounds (2,300 kg). [34] Near-shore yachts typically range in size from 33–45 feet (10–14 m) length overall. [5]
This length is important while docking the ship. It is the most commonly used way of expressing the size of a ship, and is also used for calculating the cost of a marina berth [1] (for example, £2.50 per metre LOA). LOA is usually measured on the hull alone. [2] For sailing ships, this may exclude the bowsprit and other fittings added to the hull.
It has a large sail-area-to-weight ratio, and is designed to plane easily. The 420 is an International class recognised by World Sailing . The name refers to the boat's length of 420 centimetres (4.2 m; 13 ft 9 in).
Catalina 22 A Catalina 22 with a wing keel, on its road trailer.. The Catalina 22 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with teak wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a vertical transom, a large self-bailing cockpit, with under-seat lockers, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel.
A vessel's length at the waterline (abbreviated to L.W.L) [1] is the length of a ship or boat at the level where it sits in the water (the waterline). The LWL will be shorter than the length of the boat overall (length overall or LOA) as most boats have bows and stern protrusions that make the LOA greater than the LWL. As a ship becomes more ...
