Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her heavy displacement on a moderate beam gives 33 — a sea-kindly motion in a seaway.

Comfort ratio 33
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 1.84
LightHeavy

331 — heavy for her waterline, built to carry stores and ride steadily.

Displacement / length 331
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 19.3
TenderStiff

36% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.

Ballast 36%

Powered-up and quick to accelerate — this one likes to sail.

  • Heavier than ~81% of boats her size on file

Compared with 2964 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
