Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her light displacement on a narrow beam gives 33 — a sea-kindly motion in a seaway.
1.72 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.
171 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.
13.3 — modest power for her weight; easygoing rather than lively, and happier with a breeze.
36% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.
A capable offshore cruiser with an easy motion when the sea gets up.
