Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her moderate displacement on a moderate beam gives 13 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.
2.12 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.
204 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.
21.4 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.
29% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.
Powered-up and quick to accelerate — this one likes to sail.
- Lighter than ~86% of boats her size on file
- Draws less than ~78% of boats her size on file
- Narrower than ~95% of boats her size on file
Compared with 768 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
