Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her light displacement on a beamy beam gives 5 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.
At 3.05 she sits above the 2.0 line — beamy for her weight, and happiest coastal.
83 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.
25.9 — a lot of sail for her weight; powered-up and eager, a real performer.
Light and lively — happiest day-sailing and coastal-hopping in settled weather.
- Lighter than ~82% of boats her size on file
Compared with 435 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
