Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her heavy displacement on a narrow beam gives 45 — a heavy, notably soft motion offshore.
At 1.62 she sits well under the 2.0 line — a solidly ocean-capable hull for her size.
351 — very heavy for her waterline, a serious load-carrying cruiser.
9.9 — modest power for her weight; easygoing rather than lively, and happier with a breeze.
30% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.
Built heavy and sea-kindly — a boat made to cross oceans and forgive a rough night.
- Heavier than ~89% of boats her size on file
- Draws less than ~76% of boats her size on file
- Beamier than ~77% of boats her size on file
Compared with 306 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
