    Ancients models have a low roll acceleration ( <0.06) and newest racing models don´t have a pretty number ( Between 0.1-0.2). Better a seasickness
    and be faster or better a great stomach and be slower?

    Comments guys?

    A sea sick MD !! :D Te-he... doc, I thought you would have a cure for that ;)

    The low roll accelleration may be due to very heavy ancient boats. Newer technology boats are much lighter and should respond faster.

    As far as I know any boat becomes more unpleasant to be aboard the faster it goes, it becomes worse if the water becomes unfriendly. The only way to travel on water is to adjust speed to where it becomes comfortable or bearable enough for the conditions.

    I have never been seasick, on many boats (power) However I was on a 'houseboat' once and this thing didn't move right on the water. Didn't get seasick but felt very uncomfortable. So I guess the boat's sensitivity of movement could also play a role.

    The cure is staying onshore, but it´s rather bored Fanie.

    It's the period of the acceleration that matters as much or more than the amplitude. The human body is most sensitive, in terms of motion sickness incidence at around 10-second periods (0.1 Hz) ..and virtually insensitive at periods of 1-sec or thereabouts. O'Hanlon and McCauley's MSI curves define the sensitivity over the whole range.

    I've seen where a huge number of passengers got sick on a wavepiercing cat traveling at 40 knots with 'only' 0.08 gRMS acceleration (but at around 8 second period) and virtually none sick on a bouncy SES traveling the same speed but experiencing 0.16 gRMS, where the motion period is less than 1 second (>1 Hz)

    I think stayong on shore is the ailment, I get sick if I stay off the water for too long... ;) Was on the water a while back... was enjoying it so much I almost forgot to fish :D Forced myself :rolleyes:

    Ok, so to prevent seasickness to some extent one can then also change direction (or speed) since at a given speed, upwind and downwind should provide different frequencies.

    Boats (as opposed to ships) incapacitate their crew more from vertical acceleration due to heaving and pitching than other motions.

    Ted Brewer summed up small boat comfort reasonably well with his "Comfort Factor" . Unfortunately habitability (other than interior layout) is not a great concern of many yacht designers. I think motion comfort is the main criterion for an enjoyable passage. Many experienced long distance cruisers find that comfort at sea is considerably more important than crisp noon to noon runs. This is also my own experience.

    Motion Comfort Ratio was developed by Boat Designer Ted Brewer. The formula predicts the speed of the upward and downward motion of the boat as it encounters waves and swells. The faster the motion the more uncomfortable the passengers. Thus, the formula predicts the overall comfort of a boat when it is underway. Higher values denote a more comfortable ride. As the Displacement increases the motion comfort ratio will increase. As the length and beam increases the motion comfort ratio will decrease.

    MCR = Disp / (2/3*((7/10 * LWL)+(1/3 *LOA))*Beam4/3 )

    So, as you can see below of my comment you have some types of sailboats and their motion comfort ratio after the application of that formula:

    And these are the others sailboats, they´re made off by another form, Faster? maybe but not much comfortable. They can cross the Atlantic in a few days to East in comparison with another models, but the crew will suffer seasickness with all the probabilities with bad conditions.

    And now, I bring your attention about this:

    Transpac 52, Motion Comfort=14.91


    Is she faster?

    jorghenderson -

    lenght

    Longer boats have a more comfortable motion, no big surprise.
    I do not think anybody on a TP52 going upwind in a force 7 at maximum speed will describe her motion being as comfortable.

    If someone wants to invite me on his TP52 to try this out for myself i will accept the offer happily though.

    Hey Antonio! You have done a hell of a job! Well done!

    Motion Comfort Ratio provides a good clue to a boat's seakindliness, in addition to the roll acceleration parameter, usually calculated as:
    (6.28/T)^2*radius*(10*Pi/180)/32.2
    being T the rolling period and 'radius' the radius of inerta. There are approximate formulas to estimate those also, as you probably already know.

    Motion Comfort Ratio is only a clue, not an absolute true, but anyhow it indicates what you can expect from a boat. As Ted Brewer puts it:
    "Do consider, though, that a sailing yacht heeled by a good breeze will have a much steadier motion than one bobbing up and down in light airs on left over swells from yesterday's blow; also that the typical summertime coastal cruiser will rarely encounter the wind and seas that an ocean going yacht will meet. Nor will one human stomach keep down what another stomach will handle with relish, or with mustard and pickles for that matter! It is all relative."

    There is also an study on the effects of acceleration aboard on human performance, done by the US Navy (or was it the Coast Guard?), but I don't have it here now. I'll check tonight and post the curves.

    Is it correct such a low MCR for the Transpac 52?

    Cheers.

    I think a lot depends on ones state of mind. Some people are seasick before they board... like some people itch from working with glass before they even touch the stuff...
