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 37 — a sea-kindly motion in a seaway.
1.71 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.
311 — heavy for her waterline, built to carry stores and ride steadily.
16.2 — moderate power for her weight; steady, all-round performance.
39% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.
Built heavy and sea-kindly — a boat made to cross oceans and forgive a rough night.
- Heavier than ~78% of boats her size on file
- Draws less than ~79% of boats her size on file
Compared with 2685 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
