LivelySea-kindly

Her moderate displacement on a beamy beam gives 14 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.

Comfort ratio 14
CoastalBluewater

At 2.38 she sits above the 2.0 line — beamy for her weight, and happiest coastal.

Capsize screening 2.38
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 180
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 20.1
TenderStiff

39% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.

Ballast 39%

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