Hull Speed
The theoretical displacement-mode speed limit — determined by waterline length, not engine or sail power.
5.8 kts
A displacement hull pushes a bow wave whose speed is limited by the waterline length.
With a waterline of 18.9′, the Oday 22 tops out around 5.8 knots in displacement mode — after that, the bow wave outruns the hull and resistance climbs steeply.
1.34 × √18.9′ LWL = 5.8 kts
Performance Ratios
Racing handicap, sail-carrying power, stability and comfort — and what each one actually tells you about a day on the water.
PHRF Rating
285s/nm
Heavy or slow cruiser — all about the journey, not the elapsed time.
Ballast / Displacement
36.7%
Typical cruising ballast — balanced stability and motion underway.
Displacement / Length
144
Ultralight — responsive and fast, but carries less stores.
