Character

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

Shoal draftDraws 1.18 m, board up where she has one — creeks, sandbars and thin anchorages most keels have to stay out of.
LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a beamy beam gives 12 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.

Comfort ratio 12
CoastalBluewater

At 2.59 she sits above the 2.0 line — beamy for her weight, and happiest coastal.

Capsize screening 2.59
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 83
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 31.0
TenderStiff

29% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 29%

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

  • Draws more than ~93% of boats her size on file
  • Beamier than ~90% of boats her size on file

Compared with 300 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
