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.

Displacement / length 253
EasygoingPowered-up

23.4 — a lot of sail for her weight; powered-up and eager, a real performer.

Sail area / displacement 23.4

Built heavy and sea-kindly — a boat made to cross oceans and forgive a rough night.

  • Lighter than ~81% of boats her size on file
  • Draws less than ~97% of boats her size on file
  • Narrower than ~95% of boats her size on file

Compared with 2942 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
