i The Displacement Length Ratio (DLR) is a figure that points out the boat's weight compared to its waterline length. The DLR is obtained by dividing the boat's displacement in tons by the cube of one one-hundredth of the waterline length (in feet).
The DLR can be used to compare the relative mass of different sailboats no matter what their length:
The ratio sail area to displacement can be used to compare the relative sail plan of different sailboats no matter what their size.
Upwind: under 18 the ratio indicates a cruise oriented sailboat with limited performances especially in light wind, while over 25 it indicates a fast sailboat.
The Moorings 4500 has also been marketed as Moorings 4500.

The Moorings 4500 is a 45’ (13.72m) cruising catamaran designed by Simonis Voogd Design (Netherlands). She is built since 2017 by Robertson and Caine (South Africa).
The rudder is skeg hung, which while not as responsive as an independent spade rudder, is safer for cruising. The rudder is relatively large and has plenty of grip on any point of sail.
Like many modern deck saloons, the saloon area of the Columbia 45 at the foot of the companionway steps is raised, allowing views of the exterior through the large portlights in the deckhouse. Some boats also came with an interior helm station in this area, complete with wheel steering, engine controls, and instruments. This raised saloon area was often not fitted with any furniture from Columbia, allowing owners to install whatever furniture suited them. here

The approximate yacht length is given by the model number, so a Sun Odyssey 32 is about 32 feet long. If there are three digits, use the first two, so a 439 is about 43 feet long. I wouldn’t be too worried about taking a yacht slightly bigger than you’re used to sailing – bigger yachts can sometimes actually be easier to handle, you just need to remember the extra length when manouevring. That said, if you’re used to a 30 footer and book a 50 footer, you’re going to find it’s a heck of a lot bigger. Certainly don’t get hung up over the odd foot. The difference between say a 40 footer and a 41 footer might in reality only be a couple of inches – the numbers aren’t that accurate. here
Generally, the large the yacht, the more cabins and heads you get, so to an extent the number of berths (beds) you need will determine how big you need to go. But for a given number of berths, there are a range of sizes available. For example, you could find 34 foot yachts with 7 berths and 44 footers with the same number. The latter has 2 heads, the former only 1, but otherwise the main difference is the amount of space you get.
Cabins are usually doubles with the occasional twin or single usually on larger boats. It is also sometimes possible for one or two people to sleep in the saloon. Bear in mind though that the saloon seats may be curved, are often narrow, and may be rather short for taller people. On some yachts, the saloon table is designed to lower to make a double berth, though sometimes the fittings to do this have been lost or removed.
Most charter yachts range from 30 to 50 feet (9-15 metres), have between 2 and 6 cabins, 1 to 4 toilets and showers (known as heads) and sleep from 4 to 12.
The result is that you may see the same make and model of yacht advertised by different suppliers as having different capacities. For example a three cabin yacht may be described as sleeping six (3 cabins of 2 people), seven (1 in the saloon) or eight (2 in the saloon). The limit is ultimately determined by the number of people the yacht is insured for, so don’t assume you will be allowed to put 8 people on a yacht described as for 7, just because other suppliers (or the yacht manufacturer) list the same model as sleeping 8.
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. more
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. here
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 ) [links]
