2.10 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.
253 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.
16.1 — moderate power for her weight; steady, all-round performance.
38% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.
A balanced, easily-driven cruiser — comfortable and forgiving for coastal work.
