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 26 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.

Comfort ratio 26
CoastalBluewater

1.80 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.

Capsize screening 1.80
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 324
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 17.0
TenderStiff

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

Ballast 49%

A capable cruiser that sits just inside the offshore line — coastal work with real passages in her.

  • Draws less than ~76% of boats her size on file
  • Narrower than ~78% of boats her size on file

Compared with 2560 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
