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

LivelySea-kindly

Capsize screening 1.62
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 257
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 17.4

33% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.
