Character

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

Shoal draftDraws 1.10 m, board up where she has one — creeks, sandbars and thin anchorages most keels have to stay out of.
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 167
EasygoingPowered-up

18.8 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.

Sail area / displacement 18.8
  • Draws less than ~76% of boats her size on file

Compared with 247 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
