Character

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

Shoal draughtDraws 1.14 m, board up where she has one — creeks, sandbars and thin anchorages most keels have to stay out of.

Displacement / length 112
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 23.8
  • Draws more than ~87% of boats her size on file
