LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a narrow beam gives 20 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.

Comfort ratio 20
CoastalBluewater

1.77 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.

Capsize screening 1.77
LightHeavy

162 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.

Displacement / length 162
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 19.8

54% of her weight is ballast — very stiff, carrying full sail in a blow.

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