Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her heavy displacement on a narrow beam gives 43 — a heavy, notably soft motion offshore.

Comfort ratio 43
CoastalBluewater

At 1.50 she sits well under the 2.0 line — a solidly ocean-capable hull for her size.

Capsize screening 1.50
LightHeavy

368 — very heavy for her waterline, a serious load-carrying cruiser.

Displacement / length 368
EasygoingPowered-up

14.6 — modest power for her weight; easygoing rather than lively, and happier with a breeze.

Sail area / displacement 14.6
TenderStiff

42% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.

Ballast 42%

Built heavy and sea-kindly — a boat made to cross oceans and forgive a rough night.

  • Draws more than ~84% of boats her size on file
