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 30 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.

Comfort ratio 30
CoastalBluewater

At 1.63 she sits well under the 2.0 line — a solidly ocean-capable hull for her size.

Capsize screening 1.63
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 79
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 15.2
TenderStiff

32% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 32%

A capable offshore cruiser with an easy motion when the sea gets up.

  • Draws less than ~90% of boats her size on file
  • Narrower than ~87% of boats her size on file

Compared with 741 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
