LENGTH: Traditionally, LOA (length over all) equaled hull length. Today, many builders use LOA to include rail overhangs, bowsprits, etc. and LOD (length on deck) for hull length. That said, LOA may still mean LOD if the builder is being honest and using accepted industry standards developed by groups like the ABYC (American Boat and Yacht Council).

Raven 31 is a 9.5 m monohull sailboat designed by Owen Woolley and built by Lotus Yachts/NZ Yachts (NZ) starting in 1983. The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement.

The Raven 31 is a 31.0ft fractional sloop designed by Owen Woolley and built in fiberglass since 1983. 60 units have been built. The Raven 31 is a light sailboat which is a good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat. See all sailboats designed by Owen Woolley

The Raven 31 is a sailboat designed by the maritime architect Owen Woolley in the early eighties. Less than 100 boats have been produced.

Designed to determine if a boat has blue water capability. 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.
