Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a beamy beam gives 8 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.

Comfort ratio 8
CoastalBluewater

At 3.01 she sits above the 2.0 line — beamy for her weight, and happiest coastal.

Capsize screening 3.01
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 101
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 42.2

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

  • Lighter than ~75% of boats her size on file
  • Draws more than ~96% of boats her size on file
  • Beamier than ~97% of boats her size on file
