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 25 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.
2.00 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.
181 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.
17.8 — moderate power for her weight; steady, all-round performance.
37% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.
Light and lively — happiest day-sailing and coastal-hopping in settled weather.
- Draws more than ~79% of boats her size on file
- Beamier than ~81% of boats her size on file
Compared with 2685 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
