Character

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

Shoal draftDraws 0.39 m, board up where she has one — creeks, sandbars and thin anchorages most keels have to stay out of.
LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a beamy beam gives 14 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.

Comfort ratio 14
CoastalBluewater

2.28 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.

Capsize screening 2.28
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 154
EasygoingPowered-up

7.3 — modest power for her weight; easygoing rather than lively, and happier with a breeze.

Sail area / displacement 7.3
TenderStiff

35% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.

Ballast 35%

Light and lively — happiest day-sailing and coastal-hopping in settled weather.

  • Beamier than ~85% of boats her size on file

Compared with 599 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
