Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her moderate displacement on a beamy beam gives 17 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.
2.17 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.
208 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.
15.8 — moderate power for her weight; steady, all-round performance.
32% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.
A balanced, easily-driven cruiser — comfortable and forgiving for coastal work.
- Heavier than ~84% of boats her size on file
- Draws more than ~78% of boats her size on file
- Beamier than ~87% of boats her size on file
Compared with 605 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
