Johanna’s comfort ratio

In WB-Sails document was mentioned Ted Brewer’s Comfor Ratio. It has been accepted as a reasonable way to compare different type of yachts. Here is a short description at Ted Brewer’s website of it:

“The CR is : Displacement in pounds/ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x B1.333). Ratios will vary from 5.0 for a light daysailer to the high 60s for a super heavy vessel, such as a Colin Archer ketch. Moderate and successful ocean cruisers, such as the Valiant 40 and Whitby 42, will fall into the low-middle 30s range.”

I calculated this comfort ratio for Johanna and got 50 as a result. This tells what also I have found out without any formulas. Comfortable, also in bad weather.
