Character

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

Shoal draftDraws 0.61 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 narrow beam gives 16 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.

Comfort ratio 16
CoastalBluewater

1.92 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.

Capsize screening 1.92
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 98
EasygoingPowered-up

25.2 — a lot of sail for her weight; powered-up and eager, a real performer.

Sail area / displacement 25.2
TenderStiff

50% of her weight is ballast — stiff, standing up well to her sails.

Ballast 50%

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

  • Narrower than ~88% of boats her size on file

Compared with 462 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
