Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her heavy displacement on a narrow beam gives 35 — a sea-kindly motion in a seaway.

Comfort ratio 35
CoastalBluewater

At 1.67 she sits well under the 2.0 line — a solidly ocean-capable hull for her size.

Capsize screening 1.67
LightHeavy

407 — very heavy for her waterline, a serious load-carrying cruiser.

Displacement / length 407
EasygoingPowered-up

16.1 — moderate power for her weight; steady, all-round performance.

Sail area / displacement 16.1
TenderStiff

42% of her weight is ballast — stiff, standing up well to her sails.

Ballast 42%

Built heavy and sea-kindly — a boat made to cross oceans and forgive a rough night.
