Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a moderate beam gives 13 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.

Comfort ratio 13
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 2.30
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 94
EasygoingPowered-up

31.0 — a lot of sail for her weight; powered-up and eager, a real performer.

Sail area / displacement 31.0
TenderStiff

39% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.

Ballast 39%

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

  • Lighter than ~87% of boats her size on file
  • Draws more than ~97% of boats her size on file
