Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her light displacement on a narrow beam gives 42 — a heavy, notably soft motion offshore.
At 1.60 she sits well under the 2.0 line — a solidly ocean-capable hull for her size.
148 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.
47.5 — a lot of sail for her weight; powered-up and eager, a real performer.
A capable offshore cruiser with an easy motion when the sea gets up.
- Draws more than ~82% of boats her size on file
Compared with 11 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
