here is a formula used by the cg lenth of boat ties width divided by 15, i found this in a book called fundementals of sailing by gary jobson
im a new chrysler c 22 owner (bought it the end of may )i will be sailing out of port ritchie fl
That's presumably peeps on your boat, Paul. Thoughts of that new nav marker you spoke of this past winter comes to mind....

I too need some clarification please. Check my math here
C-22
22 x 7.75 = 170.5
187 / 15 = 11.3 People
C-26
26 x 8 = 208
208 / 15 = 13.8 People
I must be doing this wrong. I'm thinking half that many people. More Like 6 people max on a C-22 and maybe 8 people on a C-26.
Now I know my C-22 is suppose to sleep 5 as I recall and this would leave one on watch while the other 5 slept. And the C-26 sleeps 6 then they could have maybe 2 people on watch while the rest slept.

I think maybe there is a bit more to the equation. Ie: ballast, displacement, wetted surface. The amount of weight that makes a boat unstable on the topsides, versus the amount of persons down below. My plate on my stern says 6. This, I am told, usually equates to 200 lbs per person. Add 750lbs for gear, fuel, rations and a motor, and your at a ton. Plenty for my taste.
It is also my understanding that in Dec. Of this year this calculation will be changed due to the change in Coast Guard STD. Persons weight of 145lbs to 185. See link:

Ps. This calculation only applies to boats under 20 feet. Ie: dinghies, etc.

Good call Paul, although maybe 1 in 3 if they're chicks!

that is people , there is a caveat, in calm weather ......i guess if the weather gets bad you have to throw some friends overboard.......you wont see 11 people om my c 22

Couple years ago we had 7 adults on my 22,
Guessing wts now maybe 1250 lbs. I knew my keel wt of 850 lbs and boy could I feel we were top heavy. It was a calm day and we just motored, slowly. There was an exagerated roll motion that Pam an I noticed.
I definately wouldn't want to be sailing or have any waves present with that many people unless you were ready to get wet! Next time we'll do turns and leave a few folks safely at the marina...

I agree and you won't see 13 on my 26. Well maybe at the dock and 10 are chicks.
Catch the wind and ride the wave, Have fun

Terrence I tend to agree my spare tire around my waist that used to be a space saver is now a full size.
