Sailboat calculators

In short: Free calculators for the numbers sailors actually use when judging a hull: hull speed, the capsize screening formula, and the full set of design ratios. Each result comes with a plain-language interpretation, and each has a guide explaining what the number can and cannot tell you.

These are the same design-ratio computations Knotworth runs in its free pre-check of any listing. If you want them calculated automatically from a real boat ad, paste the URL on the homepage; if you want the theory, start with the design ratios guide.

Skip the typing: paste the listing instead

Knotworth reads the specs straight from any listing URL and computes every ratio in the free pre-check, alongside mission fit and the costs the ad doesn't mention.

Free until you unlock a boat. No subscription.
