Character

Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.

TrailerableBeam 2.49 m — inside the 2.55 m no-permit tow width across most of Europe, and the 2.59 m US and Canadian limit. About 1,850 kg of hull, so roughly 2,450 kg on a trailer: check that against your own towing rating.
LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a moderate beam gives 17 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.

Comfort ratio 17
CoastalBluewater

2.05 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.

Capsize screening 2.05
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 168
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 23.7

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