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 31 — a sea-kindly motion in a seaway.

Comfort ratio 31
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 1.89
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 122
EasygoingPowered-up

24.0 — a lot of sail for her weight; powered-up and eager, a real performer.

Sail area / displacement 24.0
TenderStiff

24% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 24%

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

  • Heavier than ~82% of boats her size on file
  • Draws more than ~96% of boats her size on file
  • Beamier than ~96% of boats her size on file

Compared with 423 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
