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

Capsize screening 2.27
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 162
EasygoingPowered-up

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

38% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.
