Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her moderate displacement on a narrow beam gives 39 — a sea-kindly motion in a seaway.
1.74 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.
212 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.
20.7 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.
34% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.
A capable offshore cruiser with an easy motion when the sea gets up.
- Heavier than ~89% of boats her size on file
- Draws more than ~87% of boats her size on file
- Beamier than ~89% of boats her size on file
Compared with 832 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
