Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her moderate displacement on a moderate beam gives 19 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.

Comfort ratio 19
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 2.02
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 222
EasygoingPowered-up

11.3 — modest power for her weight; easygoing rather than lively, and happier with a breeze.

Sail area / displacement 11.3
TenderStiff

45% of her weight is ballast — stiff, standing up well to her sails.

Ballast 45%

A balanced, easily-driven cruiser — comfortable and forgiving for coastal work.
