Technical design specs of the 365

Lately I've been making my way through Robert Perry's "Yacht Design According to Perry" and have been curious about the ratios and more technical design specs of my P365 sloop. Robert writes about the vertical center of gravity as an important factor in a boat's stiffness. As the 365 is known as being relatively stable in this regard, is anyone familiar with the boat's VCG, center of buoyancy, and righting moment? Moreso, are there resources to learn about the more technical 365 specs (longitudinal center of flotation, longitudinal center of buoyancy, prismatic coefficient, etc)?

Thanks!
