Comfort ratio 24
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 1.99

344 — heavy for her waterline, built to carry stores and ride steadily.

Displacement / length 344
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 15.6

A capable cruiser that sits just inside the offshore line — coastal work with real passages in her.
