Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her moderate displacement on a moderate beam gives 20 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.
1.91 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.
268 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.
13.9 — modest power for her weight; easygoing rather than lively, and happier with a breeze.
49% of her weight is ballast — stiff, standing up well to her sails.
A capable cruiser that sits just inside the offshore line — coastal work with real passages in her.
- Draws less than ~77% of boats her size on file
- Narrower than ~83% of boats her size on file
Compared with 946 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
