Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her heavy displacement on a moderate beam gives 43 — a heavy, notably soft motion offshore.

Comfort ratio 43

CoastalBluewater

At 1.60 she sits well under the 2.0 line — a solidly ocean-capable hull for her size.

Capsize screening 1.60

LightHeavy

330 — heavy for her waterline, built to carry stores and ride steadily.

Displacement / length 330

EasygoingPowered-up

16.1 — moderate power for her weight; steady, all-round performance.

Sail area / displacement 16.1

TenderStiff

31% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 31%

Built heavy and sea-kindly — a boat made to cross oceans and forgive a rough night.
