Comfort ratio 18
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 2.20
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 166
EasygoingPowered-up

20.7 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.

Sail area / displacement 20.7
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.
