Character

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

TrailerableBeam 2.55 m — inside the 2.55 m no-permit tow width across most of Europe, and the 2.59 m US and Canadian limit. About 1,400 kg of hull, so roughly 2,000 kg on a trailer: check that against your own towing rating.Shoal draftDraws 0.30 m, board up where she has one — creeks, sandbars and thin anchorages most keels have to stay out of.
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 2.30
EasygoingPowered-up

17.1 — moderate power for her weight; steady, all-round performance.

Sail area / displacement 17.1
TenderStiff

29% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 29%

A balanced, easily-driven cruiser — comfortable and forgiving for coastal work.

  • Draws less than ~88% of boats her size on file
  • Beamier than ~76% of boats her size on file

Compared with 605 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
