Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her moderate displacement on a moderate beam gives 33 — a sea-kindly motion in a seaway.

Comfort ratio 33
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 1.77
LightHeavy

261 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.

Displacement / length 261
EasygoingPowered-up

15.0 — moderate power for her weight; steady, all-round performance.

Sail area / displacement 15.0
TenderStiff

34% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 34%

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

  • Heavier than ~81% of boats her size on file

Compared with 2903 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
