Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her moderate displacement on a moderate beam gives 25 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.

Comfort ratio 25
CoastalBluewater

2.04 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.

Capsize screening 2.04
LightHeavy

192 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.

Displacement / length 192
TenderStiff

27% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 27%

A balanced, easily-driven cruiser — comfortable and forgiving for coastal work.

  • Draws more than ~75% of boats her size on file
  • Beamier than ~89% of boats her size on file

Compared with 2655 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
