Does anybody know the A/B ratio of DD 462? I went through the specs at Seahorse site and also at George Buehler's site but couldn't find it.

I don't know the exact number for my sedan but it is like 2.3:1, not counting the fly-bridge. The sedan is a little higher than the 462 but not by much. George's original designs would have had a little lower ratio.

All in all it is an acceptable ratio for ocean voyaging, conservative by contemporary building standards.
