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

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

Capsize screening 2.00
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 184
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 18.1
TenderStiff

53% of her weight is ballast — very stiff, carrying full sail in a blow.

Ballast 53%

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