Character

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

Ramp-launchableAbout 907 kg of hull, with a keel that raises or a draft shallow enough to float off a trailer — she can go back on the trailer at the ramp, not only into the water.Shoal draftDraws 0.30 m, board up where she has one — creeks, sandbars and thin anchorages most keels have to stay out of.
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 72
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 34.5
