LivelySea-kindly

Her moderate displacement on a narrow beam gives 22 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.

Comfort ratio 22
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 1.85
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 206
TenderStiff

50% of her weight is ballast — stiff, standing up well to her sails.

Ballast 50%

A capable cruiser that sits just inside the offshore line — coastal work with real passages in her.
