Is it for you?
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her light displacement on a beamy beam gives 13 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.
At 2.40 she sits above the 2.0 line — beamy for her weight, and happiest coastal.
92 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.
26.8 — a lot of sail for her weight; powered-up and eager, a real performer.
36% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.
Light and lively — happiest day-sailing and coastal-hopping in settled weather.
Compared with 2808 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
