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

Capsize screening 2.01
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 218
TenderStiff

40% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.
