Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a narrow beam gives 41 — a heavy, notably soft motion offshore.

Comfort ratio 41
CoastalBluewater

At 1.44 she sits well under the 2.0 line — a solidly ocean-capable hull for her size.

Capsize screening 1.44
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 152
EasygoingPowered-up

19.5 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.

Sail area / displacement 19.5
TenderStiff

41% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.

Ballast 41%

A capable offshore cruiser with an easy motion when the sea gets up.

  • Heavier than ~83% of boats her size on file
  • Narrower than ~89% of boats her size on file
