Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a narrow beam gives 30 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.

Comfort ratio 30
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 1.89
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 177
TenderStiff

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

Ballast 38%

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

  • Heavier than ~80% of boats her size on file
  • Draws more than ~78% of boats her size on file
  • Beamier than ~85% of boats her size on file

Compared with 1713 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
