I agree with Jeff. My CS34 is over 2 on the CR. But it doesn't take into account the weight bulb at the end of the 6'3" keel. Sometimes you need to think in terms of basics physics instead of big formulas. These ratios and formulas do not take into account the numerous variables encountered at sea. They are just guidelines.
