Character

Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.

LivelySea-kindly

Her moderate displacement on a moderate beam gives 21 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.

Comfort ratio 21
CoastalBluewater

2.06 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.

Capsize screening 2.06
LightHeavy

185 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.

Displacement / length 185
EasygoingPowered-up

12.3 — modest power for her weight; easygoing rather than lively, and happier with a breeze.

Sail area / displacement 12.3
TenderStiff

27% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 27%

Light and lively — happiest day-sailing and coastal-hopping in settled weather.
