Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a narrow beam gives 35 — a sea-kindly motion in a seaway.

Comfort ratio 35
CoastalBluewater

1.76 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.

Capsize screening 1.76
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 148
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 20.0
TenderStiff

47% of her weight is ballast — stiff, standing up well to her sails.

Ballast 47%

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

  • Heavier than ~86% of boats her size on file
  • Beamier than ~87% of boats her size on file

Compared with 551 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
