Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her moderate displacement on a narrow beam gives 25 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.
2.00 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.
182 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.
21.6 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.
37% 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.
