Comfort ratio 17
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 2.29
LightHeavy

168 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.

Displacement / length 168
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 21.5

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