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 25 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.

Comfort ratio 25
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 1.83
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 182
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 17.6
TenderStiff

44% of her weight is ballast — stiff, standing up well to her sails.

Ballast 44%

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