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

LivelySea-kindly

Comfort ratio 26

CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 1.98

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

Displacement / length 127

EasygoingPowered-up

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

TenderStiff

27% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

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