Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a narrow beam gives 34 — a sea-kindly motion in a seaway.

Comfort ratio 34
CoastalBluewater

1.80 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.

Capsize screening 1.80
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 139
EasygoingPowered-up

25.4 — a lot of sail for her weight; powered-up and eager, a real performer.

Sail area / displacement 25.4
TenderStiff

36% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.

Ballast 36%

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

  • Heavier than ~83% of boats her size on file
  • Draws more than ~96% of boats her size on file
  • Beamier than ~90% of boats her size on file

Compared with 424 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
