Character

Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.

LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a moderate beam gives 24 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.

Comfort ratio 24
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 1.97
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 152
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 20.6
TenderStiff

35% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 35%

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