LivelySea-kindly

Her heavy displacement on a narrow beam gives 41 — a heavy, notably soft motion offshore.

Comfort ratio 41
CoastalBluewater

At 1.54 she sits well under the 2.0 line — a solidly ocean-capable hull for her size.

Capsize screening 1.54
LightHeavy

382 — very heavy for her waterline, a serious load-carrying cruiser.

Displacement / length 382
EasygoingPowered-up

16.0 — moderate power for her weight; steady, all-round performance.

Sail area / displacement 16.0

Built heavy and sea-kindly — a boat made to cross oceans and forgive a rough night.

  • Draws more than ~80% of boats her size on file
  • Narrower than ~77% of boats her size on file

Compared with 367 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
