Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her heavy displacement on a moderate beam gives 38 — a sea-kindly motion in a seaway.
1.74 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.
320 — heavy for her waterline, built to carry stores and ride steadily.
14.3 — modest power for her weight; easygoing rather than lively, and happier with a breeze.
40% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.
Built heavy and sea-kindly — a boat made to cross oceans and forgive a rough night.
- Heavier than ~79% of boats her size on file
- Draws more than ~82% of boats her size on file
Compared with 268 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
