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 22 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.

Comfort ratio 22
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 2.01
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 239
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 19.4
TenderStiff

48% of her weight is ballast — stiff, standing up well to her sails.

Ballast 48%

Powered-up and quick to accelerate — this one likes to sail.
