Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her heavy displacement on a narrow beam gives 26 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.
1.72 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.
317 — heavy for her waterline, built to carry stores and ride steadily.
18.9 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.
54% of her weight is ballast — very stiff, carrying full sail in a blow.
Built heavy and sea-kindly — a boat made to cross oceans and forgive a rough night.
- Lighter than ~84% of boats her size on file
- Draws less than ~94% of boats her size on file
- Narrower than ~87% of boats her size on file
Compared with 424 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
