Displacement / length 279
EasygoingPowered-up

18.6 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.

Sail area / displacement 18.6
  • Draws less than ~87% of boats her size on file
  • Narrower than ~83% of boats her size on file

Compared with 171 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
