Character

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

Shoal draftDraws 0.86 m, board up where she has one — creeks, sandbars and thin anchorages most keels have to stay out of.
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 88
EasygoingPowered-up

19.7 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.

Sail area / displacement 19.7
  • Lighter than ~75% of boats her size on file
  • Draws less than ~89% of boats her size on file
  • Narrower than ~76% of boats her size on file
