Typically the diameter of halyards and sheets is determined by clutches, cleats and blocks on board of your ship. If you are into yacht racing or rigging a new boat, it can be good to calculate the minimum required breaking load of sheets and halyards in order to reduce weight of ropes onboard.

The CSF compares beam with displacement since excess beam contributes to capsize and heavy displacement reduces capsize vulnerability. The boat is better suited for ocean passages (vs coastal cruising) if the result of the calculation is 2.0 or less. The lower the better. CSF = …

Beam: The widest part of the boat. Beam Reaching: One of the points of sail. You are ‘beam reaching’ when sailing directly sideways to the wind on either a port or starboard tack. Think of a clock face – if the wind is blowing from 12 o’clock, sailing at between 3 o’clock or 9 o’clock would be a beam reach.

For example, a 12-meter yacht of 60,000-pound displacement and 12-foot beam will have a CSF number of 1.23, so would be considered very safe from capsize. A contemporary light displacement yacht, such as a Beneteau 311 (7,716 lb, 10-foot 7-inch beam) has a CSF number of 2.14, and a Dufour 38 (14,300 lb, 12-foot 7-inch beam) comes in at 2.07.

The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more. Formula. D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³ D: Displacement of the boat in pounds. LWL: Waterline length in feet

For example, if your boat had a beam width of 8’ 6”, you planned on using guide posts with a 12” cushion on both sides and the piles had a 10” diameter, the minimum length of your cradle beam would be 8’6” (beam) + 12” + 12” (cushion) + 10” (center of pile) = 11’4”.

On occasion it is of interest to know the "Overall Beam" more or less for the same reasons as one would need to know the Overall Length of a vessel - usually for clearances during haulout or dock-side, in which case the maximum beam is given, including permanently fixed guards or other non-removable appendages.
For example, if your boat had a beam width of 8’ 6”, you planned on using guide posts with a 12” cushion on both sides and the piles had a 10” diameter, the minimum length of your cradle beam would be 8’6” (beam) + 12” + 12” (cushion) + 10” (center of pile) = 11’4”. You should also consider the local water conditions.
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes.
LENGTH: When referring to a boat's length, it is the "Length on Deck" that is of interest, since that defines the length of the enclosed and presumed to be water tight envelope. When asked, "How long is that boat?"
Yacht Design is all about creating a dynamic, artful watercraft with nothing more than your imagination, technical skills, and a computer. The design, shape and materials defined by the designer and used in the construction of a boat can make it more energy efficient, cost effective and aesthetically pleasing.
