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 22 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.
1.99 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.
266 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.
23.0 — a lot of sail for her weight; powered-up and eager, a real performer.
30% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.
Powered-up and quick to accelerate — this one likes to sail.
