Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her moderate displacement on a narrow beam gives 22 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.
At 1.66 she sits well under the 2.0 line — a solidly ocean-capable hull for her size.
243 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.
19.1 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.
59% of her weight is ballast — very stiff, carrying full sail in a blow.
Powered-up and quick to accelerate — this one likes to sail.
- Lighter than ~87% of boats her size on file
- Draws less than ~87% of boats her size on file
- Narrower than ~99% of boats her size on file
Compared with 2368 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
