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 34 — a sea-kindly motion in a seaway.

Comfort ratio 34
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 1.84
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 157
EasygoingPowered-up

21.5 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.

Sail area / displacement 21.5
TenderStiff

34% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 34%

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

  • Heavier than ~88% of boats her size on file
  • Beamier than ~96% of boats her size on file

Compared with 516 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
