Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

At 199 she has a heavy, notably soft motion — she shrugs off a rough night at the cost of nimbleness.

Comfort ratio 199
CoastalBluewater

At 0.76 she sits well under the 2.0 line — a solidly ocean-capable hull for her size.

Capsize screening 0.76
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 18.6
TenderStiff

29% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 29%

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