Pearson 365 Performance — PHRF, SA/D, Hull Speed & Sailing Characteristics

Hull Speed

The theoretical displacement-mode speed limit — determined by waterline length, not engine or sail power.

7.3 kts

A displacement hull pushes a bow wave whose speed is limited by the waterline length. With a waterline of 30.0′, the Pearson 365 tops out around 7.3 knots in displacement mode — after that, the bow wave outruns the hull and resistance climbs steeply.

1.34 × √30.0′ LWL = 7.3 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

210s/nm

Heavy or slow cruiser — all about the journey, not the elapsed time.

Ballast / Displacement

41.2%

Stiff enough to carry a big genoa comfortably into moderate breeze.

Displacement / Length

293

Moderate-heavy — carries provisions well, deliberate in light air.

Hull Speed

7.3kts

Pounds/Inch Immersion

7lbs

Weight needed to sink the hull one inch — loading sensitivity.
