STIX and AVS

[mark1882]

Hi
I have been trying to find the STIX and AVS for my Westerly Oceanlord without any success.

Any advice as to where I might find this information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Mark

Could it be somewhere here http://tomdove.com/sailcalc/sailcalc.html ?

An interesting site but as with most older boats ie pre RCD it’s really hard to find modern numbers like STIX and AVS. I’ve been looking for years for our Sadler 32 but to no avail.

The boat was built before such measurements were a requirement, so the only ways you will get them is if somebody has commissioned the necessary tests to calculate them or from the designer. However, be aware that the way the RCD requires the figures is very prescriptive and other calculations may not be comparable, particularly if derived empirically with an existing boat.

Not sure why you should worry, though, as both figures will likely be reassuringly high for this design.

Wot he said.

I had the same trouble finding such numbers for a Rival 32.
Boat made before measurement invented.
