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

Comfort ratio 18

Capsize screening 2.17
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 192
EasygoingPowered-up

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

30% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.
