Character

Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.

Shoal draftDraws 0.58 m, board up where she has one — creeks, sandbars and thin anchorages most keels have to stay out of.
LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a narrow beam gives 19 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.

Comfort ratio 19
CoastalBluewater

1.89 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.

Capsize screening 1.89
LightHeavy

158 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.

Displacement / length 158
EasygoingPowered-up

18.7 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.

Sail area / displacement 18.7
TenderStiff

25% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 25%

Light and lively — happiest day-sailing and coastal-hopping in settled weather.
