- Best for:

- Bluewater capability:
- With a Capsize ratio of 1.99 and significant displacement of 10100.0 lb, the boat offers strong inherent stability and seakeeping ability suitable for protected offshore passages. The twin keel design enhances safety in shallow waters and simplifies beaching, supporting cautious bluewater cruising.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Westerly Comet and other Laurent Giles designs from the same era, which share similar heavy-displacement characteristics and traditional cruising philosophies. It also compares to the Hallberg-Rassy 31 for its robust construction and offshore-minded layout.
