Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her heavy displacement on a moderate beam gives 24 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.
1.93 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.
291 — heavy for her waterline, built to carry stores and ride steadily.
16.6 — moderate power for her weight; steady, all-round performance.
59% of her weight is ballast — very stiff, carrying full sail in a blow.
A capable cruiser that sits just inside the offshore line — coastal work with real passages in her.
