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 19 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.

Comfort ratio 19
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 2.21
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 124
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 24.8
TenderStiff

37% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.

Ballast 37%

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

  • Draws more than ~94% of boats her size on file
  • Beamier than ~86% of boats her size on file

Compared with 2626 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
