Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her moderate displacement on a beamy beam gives 22 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.
1.99 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.
215 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.
16.2 — moderate power for her weight; steady, all-round performance.
49% of her weight is ballast — stiff, standing up well to her sails.
A capable cruiser that sits just inside the offshore line — coastal work with real passages in her.
