Character

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

TrailerableBeam 2.36 m — inside the 2.55 m no-permit tow width across most of Europe, and the 2.59 m US and Canadian limit. About 1,789 kg of hull, so roughly 2,400 kg on a trailer: check that against your own towing rating.Shoal draftDraws 1.04 m, board up where she has one — creeks, sandbars and thin anchorages most keels have to stay out of.
LivelySea-kindly

Her moderate displacement on a moderate beam gives 20 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.

Comfort ratio 20
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 1.96
LightHeavy

271 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.

Displacement / length 271
EasygoingPowered-up

17.9 — moderate power for her weight; steady, all-round performance.

Sail area / displacement 17.9
TenderStiff

48% of her weight is ballast — stiff, standing up well to her sails.

Ballast 48%

A capable cruiser that sits just inside the offshore line — coastal work with real passages in her.
