Varianta is a 21 ′ 3 ″ / 6.5 m monohull sailboat designed by E. G. Van de Stadt and built by Dehler Yachts starting in 1962.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

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

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

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

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

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

Displacement / Length Ratio

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

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

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 Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

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)

With more than 4000 sold, this must be one of the most popular sailing yachts built by Dehler.

The U.S. bans most common form of asbestos, after decades of pushback from industry

An asbestos warning sign is seen at Victoria Park in in Sydney, Australia on February 29, 2024.

The Environmental Protection Agency announced Monday that it is banning the most common form of asbestos, a cancer-causing substance that's linked to the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans every year.

The U.S. is prohibiting the use of chrysotile asbestos, joining more than 50 other countries that have already outlawed the substance. The ban comes after decades of pushback from companies that have used it in everything from consumer goods to manufacturing processes.

"The science is clear – asbestos is a known carcinogen that has severe impacts on public health," EPA administrator Michael Regan said in a statement . "This action is just the beginning as we work to protect all American families, workers, and communities from toxic chemicals."

People who inhale the tiny fibrous strands that make up asbestos can develop a slew of illnesses , including lung and ovarian cancer, asbestosis and mesothelioma. More than 40,000 deaths in the U.S. each year are connected to asbestos exposure.

Most consumer products that once contained the substance in the past no longer do, such as building materials and household appliances.

Appeals court clears the way for more lawsuits over Johnson's Baby Powder

But the EPA's ban targets certain products that still carry asbestos, including some gaskets and aftermarket automotive products. It also phases out the use of asbestos diaphragms by the chlor-alkali industry, which produces various chemicals.

Arthur Frank, a professor of environmental and occupational health at Drexel University, said the rule doesn't outlaw all forms of asbestos, and the substance still lurks in many existing buildings and products across the country.

"This is not a total ban by any means," Frank said. "It is a modest step that reduces future exposures."

Why it's taken so long for the EPA to outlaw asbestos

Federal regulators said Monday that the ban was the first rule to be finalized under the updated Toxic Substances Control Act, the national chemical safety law that was overhauled in 2016.

Previous attempts to prohibit the use of asbestos fell flat.

The EPA tried to ban asbestos outright in the late 1980s, but companies fought back. When the agency announced its 1989 prohibition on the use of asbestos, there was a carve-out for the chlorine industry.

Shots - Health News

Asbestos deaths remain a public health concern, cdc finds.

Then, two years later, a panel of federal judges deemed the rule too onerous and overturned it, scuttling for decades any additional attempts by the EPA to ban asbestos and other dangerous chemicals.

"An immediate ban on the import of chrysotile asbestos for the chlor-alkali industry is a long overdue step forward for public health," Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., said in a statement. "However, it cannot be the end of the road when it comes to phasing out other dangerous asbestos fibers, and Congress has a role to play here when it comes to providing stronger protections for our health."

What this ban will do

Though the use of asbestos in the U.S. has been on the wane, it hasn't vanished altogether.

The chlor-alkali industry uses large filters containing asbestos called diaphragms to make chemicals such as sodium hydroxide and chlorine, which can be used to disinfect drinking water and wastewater.

The EPA is immediately banning the import of chrysotile asbestos for the industry and requiring the eight chlor-alkali plants in the U.S. still using asbestos diaphragms to phase out their use.

Asbestos isn't required to produce chlorine, the agency noted, and two-thirds of the chlorine made in the U.S. is done so without the use of asbestos.

Residents near Indiana warehouse fire may have asbestos on their property, EPA says

Producers will have five years to transition from using asbestos diaphragms to ones that don't contain the substance. Those that shift from asbestos diaphragms to non-asbestos membrane technology will have five years to convert their first facility, eight years to convert their second and 12 years to convert their third.

The ban also prohibits the use of asbestos in certain products. Oilfield brake blocks, aftermarket automotive brakes and linings, and other vehicle friction products and gaskets will be barred from containing asbestos six months after the rule's effective date.

Sheet gaskets containing asbestos will also be outlawed two years after the effective date of the rule , though there will be exceptions when it's used to make titanium dioxide or for the disposal of nuclear material.

National News | 18 high school rowers, 1 adult rescued from Long Island Sound after boat capsizes off Connecticut

More details have emerged in the capsizing of boats carrying high school students off Westport in Long Island Sound, revealing what police called a “chaotic scene” involving three boats and 19 people plucked from 44-degree water .

It was just after 5 p.m. Wednesday when Westport police, fire and emergency responders were called to Connecticut’s Compo Beach for “numerous people in the water” after their boat had capsized.

“Responding units found a chaotic scene of youths swimming to shore, arriving by boat , and some still in the water near Cockenoe Island,” Westport police said in a statement.

An organized scramble ensued to tend to those who had already made it to shore, while locating and recovering those still in the water. Two of the people were treated at a local hospital for suspected hypothermia and injuries that were not life-threatening, and were released Thursday morning , Norwalk newspaper The Hour reported.

The incident involved three 60-foot-long rowing sculls and one chase boat that had left the private Saugatuck Rowing Club in Westport, Conn. Each scull was carrying nine male rowers aged 14-18, with their coach in the chase boat, police said.

The trouble started when they got near Cockenoe Island, about a mile from shore, and the weather suddenly changed. As the rowers attempted to return to the club onshore, the sculls began taking on water, and two of the boats capsized, pitching 18 people into the water, police said.

They swam to the chase boat and clung to the side, but that boat also sank, tumbling a 19th person overboard. The rowing club sent another chase boat, which started shuttling people to the Compo Beach Marina.

In a briefing Wednesday night, Westport Police Chief Foti Koskinas said it took about 50 minutes to pluck everyone from the water. The kids were warmed on a school bus provided by the district until their parents could fetch them.

One of the capsized sculls had yet to be recovered Thursday, police told WTNH. The sunken chase boat was scheduled to be towed ashore Thursday afternoon.

Koskinas lauded the team effort, which included rescue assistance from six agencies in nearby towns, as well as eight ambulances from three companies, and 20 personnel.

“We are grateful for our surrounding agencies who assisted us with this incident and remind our communities that when a large-scale event like this happens, we all show up to help,” Foti said in the police statement, adding at the news conference, “This was a very serious incident with an incredibly good outcome.”
