Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her light displacement on a narrow beam gives 33 — a sea-kindly motion in a seaway.
1.82 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.
167 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.
20.0 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.
38% 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.
- Heavier than ~82% of boats her size on file
- Draws more than ~93% of boats her size on file
- Beamier than ~83% of boats her size on file
Compared with 997 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
