Character

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

TrailerableBeam 2.50 m — inside the 2.55 m no-permit tow width across most of Europe, and the 2.59 m US and Canadian limit. About 1,000 kg of hull, so roughly 1,600 kg on a trailer: check that against your own towing rating.

LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a narrow beam gives 7 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.

Comfort ratio 7

CoastalBluewater

At 2.52 she sits above the 2.0 line — beamy for her weight, and happiest coastal.

Capsize screening 2.52

LightHeavy

45 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.

Displacement / length 45

EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 49.9

Light and lively — happiest day-sailing and coastal-hopping in settled weather.
