Character

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

TrailerableBeam 1.27 m — inside the 2.55 m no-permit tow width across most of Europe, and the 2.59 m US and Canadian limit. About 413 kg of hull, so roughly 1,000 kg on a trailer: check that against your own towing rating.Shoal draughtDraws 0.91 m, board up where she has one — creeks, sandbars and thin anchorages most keels have to stay out of.
LivelySea-kindly

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

Comfort ratio 11
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 1.72
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 70
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 26.8
TenderStiff

33% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 33%

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

  • Lighter than ~99% of boats her size on file
  • Draws less than ~89% of boats her size on file
  • Narrower than ~100% of boats her size on file

Compared with 1387 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
