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 32 — a sea-kindly motion in a seaway.
1.78 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.
260 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.
15.4 — moderate power for her weight; steady, all-round performance.
43% 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.
- Heavier than ~75% of boats her size on file
Compared with 2815 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
