Character

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

TrailerableBeam 2.20 m — inside the 2.55 m no-permit tow width across most of Europe, and the 2.59 m US and Canadian limit. About 700 kg of hull, so roughly 1,300 kg on a trailer: check that against your own towing rating.Ramp-launchableAbout 700 kg of hull, with a keel that raises or a draft shallow enough to float off a trailer — she can go back on the trailer at the ramp, not only into the water.Shoal draftDraws 0.35 m, board up where she has one — creeks, sandbars and thin anchorages most keels have to stay out of.
LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a moderate beam gives 8 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.

Comfort ratio 8
CoastalBluewater

At 2.50 she sits above the 2.0 line — beamy for her weight, and happiest coastal.

Capsize screening 2.50
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 73
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 24.6
TenderStiff

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

Ballast 36%

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

  • Lighter than ~89% of boats her size on file
  • Narrower than ~81% of boats her size on file

Compared with 809 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
