Run vs Swing: the short version
- The Run and Swing are close in length (12.5 ft3.80 m vs 12.4 ft3.78 m ).
- By the capsize screening formula the Run rates better for offshore work (2.53 vs 2.61).
Ratios are guidelines computed from published specs; condition, layout and gear matter as much as the numbers.
