Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a beamy beam gives 9 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.

Comfort ratio 9
CoastalBluewater

At 2.68 she sits above the 2.0 line — beamy for her weight, and happiest coastal.

Capsize screening 2.68
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 112
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 33.9
TenderStiff

51% of her weight is ballast — very stiff, carrying full sail in a blow.

Ballast 51%

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

  • Lighter than ~84% of boats her size on file
