A D/L ratio is calculated by dividing a boat's displacement in long tons (2,240 pounds) by one one-hundredth of the waterline length (in feet) cubed.
The ratio of sail to boat length can vary depending on the type of boat and its intended use. In general, sailboats typically have a sail area that is around 1.5 to 2.5 times the boat's length. However, this ratio can be higher for racing sailboats and lower for smaller recreational sailboats.

How do you calculate the sail area to displacement ratio for a sailboat?
Just divide a boat's sail area in square feet by its wetted surface area in square feet (SA/WS = SA ÷ WS),
Is a sail on a boat an acute angle?
it is not a acute it is aobtuse angle.
What is the relationship between edge length ratios area ratios and volume ratios of similar figures with various scale factors?
Area ratio = (edge-length ratio)2 Volume ratio = (edge-length ratio)3 Volume ratio = (area ratio)3/2
What is the ratio of the width of our national flag to its length?

How do you 'find the ratio of its length to its perimeter?
Here's how to do that: 1). Find its length. 2). Find its perimeter. 3). Divide (its length) by (its perimeter). The quotient is the ratio of its length to its perimeter.

What is the sail area to displacement ratio?
SA/D Ratio is the sail area/displacement ratio. This ratio indicates how fast the boat is in light wind. The higher the number the faster the boat.* Cruising Boats have ratios between 10 and 15.* Cruiser-Racers have ratios between 16-20.* Racers have ratios above 20.* High-Performance Racers have ratios above 24.SA / D = Sail Area / (Displacement in Cubic Feet )2/3
