Character

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

TrailerableBeam 2.10 m — inside the 2.55 m no-permit tow width across most of Europe, and the 2.59 m US and Canadian limit. About 862 kg of hull, so roughly 1,450 kg on a trailer: check that against your own towing rating.Shoal draftDraws 1.00 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 12 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.

Comfort ratio 12
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 2.23
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 152
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 28.1
TenderStiff

44% of her weight is ballast — stiff, standing up well to her sails.

Ballast 44%

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

  • Lighter than ~85% of boats her size on file
  • Narrower than ~91% of boats her size on file

Compared with 909 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
