Interpretation:

A higher number indicates a higher resistance to capsize and a more comfortable boat, making the boat more suitable for offshore passages. A value of 0.35 or higher is often recommended for offshore sailing. However, there are more valid and reliable measures – read more.

Please note: In theory, the exact Capsize Comfort Value (CCV) for a specific boat cannot be calculated without letting it influence all the other relevant values for all the other boats in the population. Thus, in a strict sense, the calculator provided here provides an approximation of CCV for the boat in question. In practice however, the calculator provides the same result as if the boat in question had been included in the population (because one boat will not significantly influence 8000+ boats).
