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 17 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.

Comfort ratio 17
CoastalBluewater

2.25 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.

Capsize screening 2.25
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 105
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 31.6
TenderStiff

53% of her weight is ballast — very stiff, carrying full sail in a blow.

Ballast 53%

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

  • Draws more than ~99% of boats her size on file
  • Beamier than ~79% of boats her size on file

Compared with 2281 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
