Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her moderate displacement on a narrow beam gives 45 — a heavy, notably soft motion offshore.
At 1.61 she sits well under the 2.0 line — a solidly ocean-capable hull for her size.
210 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.
13.5 — modest power for her weight; easygoing rather than lively, and happier with a breeze.
29% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.
A capable offshore cruiser with an easy motion when the sea gets up.
- Heavier than ~87% of boats her size on file
- Draws less than ~78% of boats her size on file
Compared with 423 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
