Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a narrow beam gives 28 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.

Comfort ratio 28
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 1.91
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 165
EasygoingPowered-up

16.7 — moderate power for her weight; steady, all-round performance.

Sail area / displacement 16.7
TenderStiff

28% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 28%

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

  • Heavier than ~76% of boats her size on file
  • Beamier than ~83% of boats her size on file

Compared with 1752 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
