Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her moderate displacement on a narrow beam gives 26 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.

Comfort ratio 26
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 1.85
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 275
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 17.6
TenderStiff

56% of her weight is ballast — very stiff, carrying full sail in a blow.

Ballast 56%

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