Character

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

Shoal draftDraws 1.10 m, board up where she has one — creeks, sandbars and thin anchorages most keels have to stay out of.
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 146
EasygoingPowered-up

21.5 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.

Sail area / displacement 21.5
  • Heavier than ~81% of boats her size on file
  • Draws less than ~90% of boats her size on file
  • Beamier than ~91% of boats her size on file
