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

Displacement / length 185
EasygoingPowered-up

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

51% of her weight is ballast — very stiff, carrying full sail in a blow.

Ballast 51%

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