“Caspian” is a classic Pearson Countess. Designed for offshore cruising. She is spacious enough to be a comfortable liveaboard and long distance family cruiser. She sleeps seven. She has ample storage for food, clothes, tools, and gear. She has two hanging closets, plenty of drawers, lockers, and cubbies from bow to stern. She has a wraparound cockpit that comes with cushions , an ice locker, and three large storage lockers. The deckhouse on the port side has a dinette that converts to a double berth. Sette stowage area and drawers under the bench seat. In the galley on the starboard side there are dish racks, sink, ice box, stove with 3 burners and an oven. There is sufficient storage and drawers for cooking and eating utensils and cooking necessities. There is a lot of counter space for food preparation and cooking. The floor in the galley opens to give easy access to the engine, pumps, water heater and batteries. In the Main Cabin on the port side there are two berths, one is extendable. Both berths have drawers and storage space under them. A table can be situated in the middle of the main cabin so that the area can be used as a dinette. On the starboard side there are two berths, one is a convertible bunk. There are storage spaces and drawers under each berth. The switchboard is located aft, main cabin bulkhead, port side. Between the main cabin and the V Berth there are two hanging closets and the head. The head is on the port side and has a toilet, shower, sink and cabinets where towels and toiletries can be stored. The V berth has locker shelves on both sides and plenty of drawers. There are also shelves running along the side of both beds. The foredeck has storage for the anchor lines and windlass motor.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
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. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. 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.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
