Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her moderate displacement on a narrow beam gives 42 — a heavy, notably soft motion offshore.
At 1.66 she sits well under the 2.0 line — a solidly ocean-capable hull for her size.
230 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.
16.7 — moderate power for her weight; steady, all-round performance.
38% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.
A capable offshore cruiser with an easy motion when the sea gets up.
- Heavier than ~86% of boats her size on file
- Draws more than ~95% of boats her size on file
- Beamier than ~80% of boats her size on file
Compared with 127 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
