Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her moderate displacement on a narrow beam gives 26 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.

Comfort ratio 26
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 1.92
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 233
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 20.3
TenderStiff

42% of her weight is ballast — stiff, standing up well to her sails.

Ballast 42%

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