Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her moderate displacement on a narrow beam gives 41 — a heavy, notably soft motion offshore.

Comfort ratio 41
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 1.72
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 188
EasygoingPowered-up

19.4 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.

Sail area / displacement 19.4
TenderStiff

29% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 29%

A capable offshore cruiser with an easy motion when the sea gets up.

  • Heavier than ~93% of boats her size on file
  • Beamier than ~93% of boats her size on file

Compared with 537 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
