Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her heavy displacement on a narrow beam gives 35 — a sea-kindly motion in a seaway.
At 1.64 she sits well under the 2.0 line — a solidly ocean-capable hull for her size.
311 — heavy for her waterline, built to carry stores and ride steadily.
15.4 — moderate power for her weight; steady, all-round performance.
Built heavy and sea-kindly — a boat made to cross oceans and forgive a rough night.
- Draws more than ~84% of boats her size on file
Compared with 377 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
