How this ranking is worked out
Each catamaran's shallowest published draft: with daggerboards or centreboards, the draft with them raised; otherwise the fixed-keel draft.
87 boats in the catalogue publish the figures this ranking needs. Only figures the builders themselves publish are used; a boat that does not publish one is left out, never estimated, and discontinued models are not ranked. Each model page names the builder's page its figures were read from.
