Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

EU classification

Falcon 275 holds one CE certification:

If less than 3 in on board the boat is by European Union certified as Class D. SHELTERED WATERS:

Designed for voyages on sheltered coastal waters, small bays, small lakes, rivers and canals when conditions up to, and including, wind force 4 (Beaufort scale) and significant wave heights up to, and including, 0,3 m may be experienced, with occasional waves of 0,5 m maximum height, for example from passing vessels.

Immersion rate

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Falcon 275 is about 26 kg/cm, alternatively 149 lbs/inch.
Meaning: if you load 26 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 149 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.
