Character

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

Ramp-launchableAbout 1,089 kg of hull, with a keel that raises or a draught shallow enough to float off a trailer — she can go back on the trailer at the ramp, not only into the water.Shoal draughtDraws 0.48 m, board up where she has one — creeks, sandbars and thin anchorages most keels have to stay out of.
CoastalBluewater

At 2.57 she sits above the 2.0 line — beamy for her weight, and happiest coastal.

Capsize screening 2.57
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 23.3

Powered-up and quick to accelerate — this one likes to sail.

  • Heavier than ~76% of boats her size on file
  • Beamier than ~96% of boats her size on file
