Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her light displacement on a narrow beam gives 38 — a sea-kindly motion in a seaway.
1.75 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.
164 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.
21.0 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.
31% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.
A capable offshore cruiser with an easy motion when the sea gets up.
- Heavier than ~86% of boats her size on file
- Draws more than ~92% of boats her size on file
- Beamier than ~90% of boats her size on file
Compared with 423 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
