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 33 — a sea-kindly motion in a seaway.

Comfort ratio 33
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 1.77
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 158
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 22.9
TenderStiff

40% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.

Ballast 40%

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

  • Heavier than ~78% of boats her size on file
  • Draws more than ~86% of boats her size on file

Compared with 1104 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
