Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her moderate displacement on a moderate beam gives 18 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.

Comfort ratio 18
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 2.07
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 206
EasygoingPowered-up

10.4 — modest power for her weight; easygoing rather than lively, and happier with a breeze.

Sail area / displacement 10.4
TenderStiff

33% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 33%

A balanced, easily-driven cruiser — comfortable and forgiving for coastal work.
