Character

Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.

TrailerableBeam 2.25 m — inside the 2.55 m no-permit tow width across most of Europe, and the 2.59 m US and Canadian limit. About 1,200 kg of hull, so roughly 1,800 kg on a trailer: check that against your own towing rating.Shoal draftDraws 0.90 m, board up where she has one — creeks, sandbars and thin anchorages most keels have to stay out of.
LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a beamy beam gives 15 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.

Comfort ratio 15
CoastalBluewater

2.14 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.

Capsize screening 2.14
LightHeavy

176 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.

Displacement / length 176
EasygoingPowered-up

17.1 — moderate power for her weight; steady, all-round performance.

Sail area / displacement 17.1
TenderStiff

29% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 29%

Light and lively — happiest day-sailing and coastal-hopping in settled weather.
