Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her light displacement on a moderate beam gives 24 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.
2.03 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.
132 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.
22.0 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.
36% 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.
- Beamier than ~90% of boats her size on file
Compared with 1839 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
