Character

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

TrailerableBeam 2.40 m — inside the 2.55 m no-permit tow width across most of Europe, and the 2.59 m US and Canadian limit. About 850 kg of hull, so roughly 1,450 kg on a trailer: check that against your own towing rating.
LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a beamy beam gives 10 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.

Comfort ratio 10
CoastalBluewater

At 2.56 she sits above the 2.0 line — beamy for her weight, and happiest coastal.

Capsize screening 2.56
LightHeavy

150 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.

Displacement / length 150
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 29.5
TenderStiff

37% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.

Ballast 37%

Light and lively — happiest day-sailing and coastal-hopping in settled weather.

  • Lighter than ~87% of boats her size on file
