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 16 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.
2.02 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.
183 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.
15.0 — moderate power for her weight; steady, all-round performance.
42% 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 less than ~90% of boats her size on file
- Narrower than ~87% of boats her size on file
Compared with 637 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
