Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her heavy displacement on a narrow beam gives 36 — a sea-kindly motion in a seaway.

Comfort ratio 36
CoastalBluewater

At 1.66 she sits well under the 2.0 line — a solidly ocean-capable hull for her size.

Capsize screening 1.66
LightHeavy

322 — heavy for her waterline, built to carry stores and ride steadily.

Displacement / length 322
EasygoingPowered-up

17.2 — moderate power for her weight; steady, all-round performance.

Sail area / displacement 17.2
TenderStiff

49% of her weight is ballast — stiff, standing up well to her sails.

Ballast 49%

Built heavy and sea-kindly — a boat made to cross oceans and forgive a rough night.
