"Capsize Screening # = Boat's Max. Beam (feet) / Cube Root (Gross Displacement / 64) In English: Take the boat's gross displacement (in pounds), divide it by 64 and then take the cube root of the quotient. Now, take that cube root and divide it into the boat's maximum beam (in feet). The resulting Capsize screening number should be 2 or less. In general, if the number is over 2, the boat fails the screen. If the number is under 2, the boat passes." This came from a great article by George Day. I found this on one of the other sailing sights
