Hull Speed
The theoretical displacement-mode speed limit — determined by waterline length, not engine or sail power.
5.6 kts
A displacement hull pushes a bow wave whose speed is limited by the waterline length.
With a waterline of 17.5′, the Odyssey 22 tops out around 5.6 knots in displacement mode — after that, the bow wave outruns the hull and resistance climbs steeply.
1.34 × √17.5′ LWL = 5.6 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
219s/nm
Heavy or slow cruiser — all about the journey, not the elapsed time.
Displacement / Length
208
Moderate — a good balance of speed and load-carrying ability.
Hull Speed
5.6kts
Pounds/Inch Immersion
3lbs
Weight needed to sink the hull one inch — loading sensitivity.
