Character

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

Shoal draftDraws 1.07 m, board up where she has one — creeks, sandbars and thin anchorages most keels have to stay out of.
LivelySea-kindly

Her heavy displacement on a narrow beam gives 24 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.

Comfort ratio 24
CoastalBluewater

1.72 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.

Capsize screening 1.72
LightHeavy

325 — heavy for her waterline, built to carry stores and ride steadily.

Displacement / length 325
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 18.6
TenderStiff

45% of her weight is ballast — stiff, standing up well to her sails.

Ballast 45%

Built heavy and sea-kindly — a boat made to cross oceans and forgive a rough night.

  • Draws less than ~84% of boats her size on file
