Character

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

TrailerableBeam 1.37 m — inside the 2.55 m no-permit tow width across most of Europe, and the 2.59 m US and Canadian limit. About 41 kg of hull, so roughly 650 kg on a trailer: check that against your own towing rating.

CoastalBluewater

At 4.02 she sits above the 2.0 line — beamy for her weight, and happiest coastal.

Capsize screening 4.02

EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 35.9

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