LivelySea-kindly

Her moderate displacement on a moderate beam gives 30 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.

Comfort ratio 30
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 1.95

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

Displacement / length 261
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 15.5
TenderStiff

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

Ballast 37%

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

  • Heavier than ~79% of boats her size on file
  • Draws less than ~93% of boats her size on file
  • Beamier than ~86% of boats her size on file
