Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her moderate displacement on a moderate beam gives 25 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.

Comfort ratio 25
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 1.88
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 228
EasygoingPowered-up

23.2 — a lot of sail for her weight; powered-up and eager, a real performer.

Sail area / displacement 23.2
TenderStiff

47% of her weight is ballast — stiff, standing up well to her sails.

Ballast 47%

Powered-up and quick to accelerate — this one likes to sail.
