Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her moderate displacement on a beamy beam gives 15 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.
2.22 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.
212 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.
21.8 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.
23% 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 ~82% of boats her size on file
Compared with 538 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
