Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a moderate beam gives 23 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.

Comfort ratio 23
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 2.06
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 175
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 21.9
TenderStiff

37% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.

Ballast 37%

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

  • Draws less than ~89% of boats her size on file
  • Beamier than ~76% of boats her size on file

Compared with 2959 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
