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 34 — a sea-kindly motion in a seaway.
1.70 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.
264 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.
17.3 — moderate power for her weight; steady, all-round performance.
50% of her weight is ballast — stiff, standing up well to her sails.
Built heavy and sea-kindly — a boat made to cross oceans and forgive a rough night.
