=> can be compared at this site: <http://image-ination.com/sailcalc.html>

I just plugged the numbers for our Westsail 32 into this calculator and it
says that our boat is a "racer" (!) A lot of the results were considerably
off when compared against working the formulas out with a calculator. You
can find the basic data for the Westsail 32 as well as most other boats as
an excel spreadsheet download at:
http://www.mouseherder.com/xapic/sleep.html
The Westsail 32 has a capsize risk of 1.58, where any number less than 2.0
is good.
The question of the angle of vanishing satiability came up on the WOA
message board just last week. The answer is 145 degrees.
