Crit D2 vs Diamond Head: the short version
- The Crit D2 and Diamond Head are close in length (12.8 ft3.90 m vs 12.8 ft3.91 m ).
- The Crit D2 is heavier, displacing about 91% more, which usually means a steadier but slower-to-accelerate hull.
- By the capsize screening formula the Crit D2 rates better for offshore work (2.57 vs 2.77).
Ratios are guidelines computed from published specs; condition, layout and gear matter as much as the numbers.
