Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her moderate displacement on a narrow beam gives 48 — a heavy, notably soft motion offshore.
At 1.65 she sits well under the 2.0 line — a solidly ocean-capable hull for her size.
263 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.
13.3 — modest power for her weight; easygoing rather than lively, and happier with a breeze.
34% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.
Built heavy and sea-kindly — a boat made to cross oceans and forgive a rough night.
- Heavier than ~95% of boats her size on file
- Beamier than ~88% of boats her size on file
Compared with 456 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
