Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her heavy displacement on a moderate beam gives 24 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.
2.05 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.
309 — heavy for her waterline, built to carry stores and ride steadily.
20.5 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.
36% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.
Powered-up and quick to accelerate — this one likes to sail.
