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 42 — a heavy, notably soft motion offshore.

Comfort ratio 42
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 1.72
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 203
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 15.8
TenderStiff

32% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 32%

A capable offshore cruiser with an easy motion when the sea gets up.

  • Heavier than ~95% of boats her size on file
  • Beamier than ~95% of boats her size on file

Compared with 836 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
