Character

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

CoastalBluewater

At 1.38 she sits well under the 2.0 line — a solidly ocean-capable hull for her size.

Capsize screening 1.38
TenderStiff

29% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 29%

A balanced, easily-driven cruiser — comfortable and forgiving for coastal work.

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

Compared with 356 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
