Character

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

TrailerableBeam 1.90 m — inside the 2.55 m no-permit tow width across most of Europe, and the 2.59 m US and Canadian limit. About 670 kg of hull, so roughly 1,250 kg on a trailer: check that against your own towing rating.Shoal draftDraws 0.95 m, board up where she has one — creeks, sandbars and thin anchorages most keels have to stay out of.
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 2.19
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 53.6
TenderStiff

48% of her weight is ballast — stiff, standing up well to her sails.

Ballast 48%

Powered-up and quick to accelerate — this one likes to sail.

  • Lighter than ~84% of boats her size on file
  • Narrower than ~94% of boats her size on file

Compared with 514 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
