Character

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

TrailerableBeam 2.30 m — inside the 2.55 m no-permit tow width across most of Europe, and the 2.59 m US and Canadian limit. About 798 kg of hull, so roughly 1,400 kg on a trailer: check that against your own towing rating.Ramp-launchableAbout 798 kg of hull, with a keel that raises or a draft shallow enough to float off a trailer — she can go back on the trailer at the ramp, not only into the water.Shoal draftDraws 1.10 m, board up where she has one — creeks, sandbars and thin anchorages most keels have to stay out of.

LivelySea-kindly

At 1 she rides light and lively — a quick motion that feels every wave, at her best in settled water.

Comfort ratio 1

CoastalBluewater

At 2.50 she sits above the 2.0 line — beamy for her weight, and happiest coastal.

Capsize screening 2.50

EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 26.1

TenderStiff

30% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 30%

Powered-up and quick to accelerate — this one likes to sail.
