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 17 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.
2.13 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.
146 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.
19.3 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.
31% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.
Light and lively — happiest day-sailing and coastal-hopping in settled weather.
- Draws less than ~76% of boats her size on file
Compared with 2808 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
