The formula predicts the speed of the upward and downward motion of
the boat as it encounters waves and swells. The faster the motion the more uncomfortable the passengers. Thus, the formula predicts the
overall comfort of a boat when it is underway. Higher values denote a more comfortable ride. As the Displacement increases the motion
comfort ratio will increase. As the length and beam increases the motion comfort ratio will decrease.
