[edit] Rationale for the calculation

I have tried researching and failed to find the rationale for the calculation. This article would benefit from (eg) a naval architect's expert commentary

[edit] Bad refs

I removed the following ref, beause it points to a copy of a Wikipedia article, and we can't cite ourselves as a source:

This Ref provides historical bacground on the Yacht Rule, and later evolution.

[edit] Length?

Moved the following comment from the article:

These sources do not explain whether "length" is "length overall" or "waterline length". The units for length and beam are unspecified, but are assumed to be feet since the Ton itself is an Imperial unit and the yard is not used in ship dimensions.

Brewer's article covers this; stem to stern. — Johan the Ghost _seance 15:48, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
