Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her light displacement on a beamy beam gives 9 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.
At 2.68 she sits above the 2.0 line — beamy for her weight, and happiest coastal.
168 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.
20.1 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.
42% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.
Light and lively — happiest day-sailing and coastal-hopping in settled weather.
- Lighter than ~80% of boats her size on file
- Draws less than ~92% of boats her size on file
Compared with 180 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
