Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her moderate displacement on a beamy beam gives 14 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.
At 2.35 she sits above the 2.0 line — beamy for her weight, and happiest coastal.
248 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.
31% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.
A balanced, easily-driven cruiser — comfortable and forgiving for coastal work.
