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

LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a moderate beam gives 22 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.

Comfort ratio 22

CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 1.90

EasygoingPowered-up

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

TenderStiff

24% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Light and lively — happiest day-sailing and coastal-hopping in settled weather.
