LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 197
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 20.1

37% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.

Ballast 37%

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