Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her moderate displacement on a moderate beam gives 30 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.
1.76 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.
189 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.
14.4 — modest power for her weight; easygoing rather than lively, and happier with a breeze.
34% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.
A capable cruiser that sits just inside the offshore line — coastal work with real passages in her.
