Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her light displacement on a moderate beam gives 17 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.
2.03 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.
176 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.
16.4 — moderate power for her weight; steady, all-round performance.
47% of her weight is ballast — stiff, standing up well to her sails.
Light and lively — happiest day-sailing and coastal-hopping in settled weather.
- Draws more than ~94% of boats her size on file
