Is it for you?
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her light displacement on a moderate beam gives 20 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.
2.11 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.
157 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.
22.3 — a lot of sail for her weight; powered-up and eager, a real performer.
34% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.
Light and lively — happiest day-sailing and coastal-hopping in settled weather.
Compared with 2958 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
