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 19 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.
2.16 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.
195 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.
18.5 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.
45% of her weight is ballast — stiff, standing up well to her sails.
Powered-up and quick to accelerate — this one likes to sail.
