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 23 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.

Comfort ratio 23
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 2.04
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 226
EasygoingPowered-up

18.7 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.

Sail area / displacement 18.7
TenderStiff

23% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 23%

Powered-up and quick to accelerate — this one likes to sail.
