[PUP] PUP - Stability & Comfort

[Truelove39 at aol.com]

Hi  Tad,
 
 I  have always been under the impression that Brewer's Comfort Factor is  
based on sailboat hulls. Can you actually take a trawler hull and use Ted's  
formula to get a good comparison to a sailboat?  Or is there a  different formula 
to compare trawler hulls?
 
On  Brewer's webpage, he states: "The intention is to provide a means to 
compare the  motion comfort of vessels of similar type and size..." As  an 
example, I offer the 126' John Alden design displacing 380,000  lb. This yacht has a 
comfort factor of 67.5 Somehow, this does not  square up with your example of  
"a Diesel Duck 462 is 67.8..." 
 
Regards,
 
John
