Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her heavy displacement on a beamy beam gives 28 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.

Comfort ratio 28
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 1.98
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 327
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 15.2
TenderStiff

35% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 35%

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

  • Draws less than ~83% of boats her size on file
  • Beamier than ~77% of boats her size on file

Compared with 2984 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
