Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her heavy displacement on a moderate beam gives 35 — a sea-kindly motion in a seaway.

Comfort ratio 35
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 1.85
LightHeavy

307 — heavy for her waterline, built to carry stores and ride steadily.

Displacement / length 307
EasygoingPowered-up

12.9 — modest power for her weight; easygoing rather than lively, and happier with a breeze.

Sail area / displacement 12.9
TenderStiff

33% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 33%

A capable cruiser that sits just inside the offshore line — coastal work with real passages in her.

  • Heavier than ~78% of boats her size on file
  • Draws less than ~90% of boats her size on file
  • Beamier than ~94% of boats her size on file

Compared with 359 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
