Character

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

TrailerableBeam 1.91 m — inside the 2.55 m no-permit tow width across most of Europe, and the 2.59 m US and Canadian limit. About 508 kg of hull, so roughly 1,100 kg on a trailer: check that against your own towing rating.Ramp-launchableAbout 508 kg of hull, with a keel that raises or a draft shallow enough to float off a trailer — she can go back on the trailer at the ramp, not only into the water.Shoal draftDraws 0.59 m, board up where she has one — creeks, sandbars and thin anchorages most keels have to stay out of.
LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a moderate beam gives 9 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.

Comfort ratio 9
CoastalBluewater

At 2.41 she sits above the 2.0 line — beamy for her weight, and happiest coastal.

Capsize screening 2.41
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 164
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.

  • Lighter than ~80% of boats her size on file
  • Draws less than ~94% of boats her size on file
  • Narrower than ~93% of boats her size on file

Compared with 543 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
