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

Capsize screening 1.81

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

Displacement / length 282
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 16.0

45% of her weight is ballast — stiff, standing up well to her sails.

Ballast 45%

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