Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
TrailerableBeam 2.26 m — inside the 2.55 m no-permit tow width across most of Europe, and the 2.59 m US and Canadian limit. About 1,300 kg of hull, so roughly 1,900 kg on a trailer: check that against your own towing rating.Shoal draftDraws 0.96 m, board up where she has one — creeks, sandbars and thin anchorages most keels have to stay out of.
