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 29 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.
1.90 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.
189 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.
18.6 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.
33% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.
Powered-up and quick to accelerate — this one likes to sail.
- Heavier than ~79% of boats her size on file
- Beamier than ~81% of boats her size on file
Compared with 2589 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
