Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her moderate displacement on a beamy beam gives 16 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.

Comfort ratio 16
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 2.19
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 183
EasygoingPowered-up

28.3 — a lot of sail for her weight; powered-up and eager, a real performer.

Sail area / displacement 28.3
TenderStiff

30% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 30%

Light and lively — happiest day-sailing and coastal-hopping in settled weather.
