Character

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

Shoal draftDraws 0.65 m, board up where she has one — creeks, sandbars and thin anchorages most keels have to stay out of.
CoastalBluewater

At 2.61 she sits above the 2.0 line — beamy for her weight, and happiest coastal.

Capsize screening 2.61
EasygoingPowered-up

19.3 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.

Sail area / displacement 19.3
TenderStiff

17% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 17%

Powered-up and quick to accelerate — this one likes to sail.

  • Heavier than ~87% of boats her size on file
  • Beamier than ~99% of boats her size on file

Compared with 607 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
