Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a moderate beam gives 15 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.

Comfort ratio 15
CoastalBluewater

At 2.37 she sits above the 2.0 line — beamy for her weight, and happiest coastal.

Capsize screening 2.37
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 136
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 31.9

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