Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her light displacement on a moderate beam gives 21 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.
2.09 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.
135 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.
21.1 — 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.
Light and lively — happiest day-sailing and coastal-hopping in settled weather.
- Beamier than ~79% of boats her size on file
Compared with 2535 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
