Character

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

Shoal draughtDraws 0.76 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 beamy beam gives 10 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.

Comfort ratio 10
CoastalBluewater

At 2.73 she sits above the 2.0 line — beamy for her weight, and happiest coastal.

Capsize screening 2.73
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 155
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 17.4
TenderStiff

22% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 22%

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

  • Draws less than ~92% of boats her size on file
  • Beamier than ~88% of boats her size on file

Compared with 1046 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
