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 33 — a sea-kindly motion in a seaway.
1.80 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.
229 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.
22.3 — a lot of sail for her weight; powered-up and eager, a real performer.
42% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.
Powered-up and quick to accelerate — this one likes to sail.
- Heavier than ~81% of boats her size on file
- Beamier than ~76% of boats her size on file
Compared with 2246 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
