Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her light displacement on a moderate beam gives 20 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.
2.03 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.
158 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.
25.2 — a lot of sail for her weight; powered-up and eager, a real performer.
40% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.
Light and lively — happiest day-sailing and coastal-hopping in settled weather.
- Draws more than ~92% of boats her size on file
Compared with 2977 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
