The Island Packet 37  Specs & Key Performance Indicators

Sail Areas & Rig Dimensions

sail dimensions

I: 13.97m (45.83 ft) J: 5.08m (16.67 ft) P: 11.89m (39.00 ft) E: 4.42m (14.50 ft)

Total Sail Area: 74.3m² (800 ft ² )

Published Design Ratios The Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

The following analysis of the design ratios gives an indication of the boat's likely sailing characteristics, but see the 'Notes of Caution' below:

Sail Area/Displacement Ratio (SA/D): 18.4 This ratio falls within the 16 to 20 range, indicating reasonably good performance. The Island Packet 37 is not underpowered and should perform well in a variety of wind conditions, offering a good balance between speed and manageability.

Ballast/Displacement Ratio (B/D): 44.3% A ratio above 40% indicates a stiffer and more powerful boat that can better stand up to the wind. The Island Packet 37, with its 44.32% ratio, suggests strong stability and the ability to handle stronger winds without excessive heeling.

Displacement/Length Ratio (D/L): 277 This value falls into the Heavy Displacement category (275-350). Boats in this range typically prioritize comfort and seaworthiness over speed. The Island Packet 37, with its heavy displacement, will likely provide a stable and comfortable ride, especially in rougher waters.

Comfort Ratio: 30.9 A Comfort Ratio between 30 and 40 indicates a reasonably sedate motion, suitable for a moderate bluewater cruising boat. With a comfort ratio of 30.85, the Island Packet 37 promises a comfortable ride that is less likely to be overly lively or prone to abrupt movements in the waves, making it suitable for longer voyages.

Capsize Screening Formula (CSF): 1.84 A CSF of 2.0 or less indicates good blue water capability, making the boat better suited for ocean passages. The Island Packet 37's CSF of 1.84 suggests it is well-suited for offshore sailing, with lower vulnerability to capsizing in rough seas.

Summary of the Theoretical Sailing Characteristics: The Island Packet 37, based on its design ratios, is a well-rounded cruiser offering a blend of reasonable performance and substantial stability. Its SA/D ratio suggests decent sailing performance, while the B/D ratio underscores its stiffness and stability in windy conditions. The heavy displacement contributes to a comfortable and steady ride, aligned with its good motion comfort indicated by the Comfort Ratio. Finally, the low CSF supports its capability for bluewater cruising, indicating that the Island Packet 37 is a capable and dependable vessel for extended offshore voyages.

Here's how to calculate the KPIs yourself -  without having to wrestle with the mathematics...

Design Ratios: Notes of Caution...

  • The Sail Area/Displacement Ratio (SA/D): This ratio provides an estimate of the sail power relative to the boat's weight, which can indicate potential speed in various wind conditions.  But i t doesn't account for the efficiency of the sail plan, the rigging, or the skill of the crew. Real-world performance can vary significantly based on these factors.
  • The Ballast/Displacement Ratio (B/D): This ratio gives an idea of the boat's stability and stiffness, which is crucial for handling and safety.  But  it doesn't consider the distribution of the ballast or the hull shape, both of which can greatly affect stability. A high B/D ratio alone doesn't guarantee a stable boat if the ballast is poorly distributed.
  • The Displacement/Length Ratio (D/L): This ratio helps predict the boat's speed potential and its behaviour in different sea conditions.  But  it doesn't account for the hull design or the boat's overall weight distribution. Two boats with the same D/L ratio can perform very differently if their hull shapes are different.
  • The Comfort Ratio (CR): This ratio estimates the boat's motion comfort in a seaway, which is important for long passages.  But  it doesn't consider the boat's interior layout, which can also affect comfort. Additionally, personal tolerance to motion varies, so a boat that is comfortable for one person might not be for another.
  • The Capsize Screening Formula (CSF): This formula assesses the likelihood of a boat capsizing in heavy seas, which is critical for offshore safety.  But  it doesn't take into account the boat's handling characteristics or the skill of the crew. A boat with a low CSF can still capsize if poorly handled in severe conditions.

General Limitations

  • Static Nature: These ratios are static measurements and don't account for dynamic factors like wave action, wind gusts, or crew actions.
  • Simplification: They simplify complex interactions into single numbers, which can be misleading. Real-world performance is influenced by a multitude of factors that these ratios can't fully capture.
  • Context: The context in which the boat is used (e.g., coastal cruising vs. offshore racing) can greatly affect how these ratios should be interpreted.

In summary, while these ratios provide valuable insights into the theoretical performance characteristics of a sailboat, they should be used as part of a broader assessment that includes practical experience, sea trials, and expert advice.

Island Packet 370

Island Packet 370 is a 37 ′ 9 ″ / 11.5 m monohull sailboat designed by Robert K. Johnson and built by Island Packet Yachts starting in 2001.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

  • SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

    LENGTH: Traditionally, LOA (length over all) equaled hull length. Today, many builders use LOA to include rail overhangs, bowsprits, etc. and LOD (length on deck) for hull length. That said, LOA may still mean LOD if the builder is being honest and using accepted industry standards developed by groups like the ABYC (American Boat and Yacht Council).
