Character

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

TrailerableBeam 2.50 m — inside the 2.55 m no-permit tow width across most of Europe, and the 2.59 m US and Canadian limit. About 1,600 kg of hull, so roughly 2,200 kg on a trailer: check that against your own towing rating.

LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a narrow beam gives 11 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.

Comfort ratio 11

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

45% of her weight is ballast — stiff, standing up well to her sails.

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