Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her moderate displacement on a moderate beam gives 14 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.
2.12 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.
193 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.
35% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.
A balanced, easily-driven cruiser — comfortable and forgiving for coastal work.
- Draws less than ~83% of boats her size on file
- Narrower than ~83% of boats her size on file
Compared with 623 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
