Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a moderate beam gives 11 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.

Comfort ratio 11
CoastalBluewater

At 2.48 she sits above the 2.0 line — beamy for her weight, and happiest coastal.

Capsize screening 2.48
LightHeavy

74 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.

Displacement / length 74
EasygoingPowered-up

35.6 — a lot of sail for her weight; powered-up and eager, a real performer.

Sail area / displacement 35.6
TenderStiff

37% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.

Ballast 37%

Light and lively — happiest day-sailing and coastal-hopping in settled weather.
