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 19 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.
2.19 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.
161 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.
20.2 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.
52% of her weight is ballast — very stiff, carrying full sail in a blow.
Light and lively — happiest day-sailing and coastal-hopping in settled weather.
- Draws more than ~90% of boats her size on file
- Beamier than ~76% of boats her size on file
Compared with 2867 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
