Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her heavy displacement on a beamy beam gives 23 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.
2.19 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.
286 — heavy for her waterline, built to carry stores and ride steadily.
20.4 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.
12% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.
Powered-up and quick to accelerate — this one likes to sail.
- Heavier than ~96% of boats her size on file
- Beamier than ~99% of boats her size on file
Compared with 596 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
