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 30 — a sea-kindly motion in a seaway.
1.84 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.
264 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.
15.2 — moderate power for her weight; steady, all-round performance.
40% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.
A capable cruiser that sits just inside the offshore line — coastal work with real passages in her.
