Character

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

Shoal draftDraws 1.20 m, board up where she has one — creeks, sandbars and thin anchorages most keels have to stay out of.

LivelySea-kindly

Her moderate displacement on a narrow beam gives 24 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.

Comfort ratio 24

CoastalBluewater

1.75 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.

Capsize screening 1.75

LightHeavy

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