Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a narrow beam gives 41 — a heavy, notably soft motion offshore.

Comfort ratio 41

CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 1.72

LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 178

EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 18.1

TenderStiff

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