Character

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

Shoal draftDraws 1.01 m, board up where she has one — creeks, sandbars and thin anchorages most keels have to stay out of.
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 92
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 25.7
  • Draws less than ~94% of boats her size on file

Compared with 260 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
