Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her moderate displacement on a moderate beam gives 28 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.

Comfort ratio 28
CoastalBluewater

2.00 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.

Capsize screening 2.00
LightHeavy

254 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.

Displacement / length 254
EasygoingPowered-up

13.7 — modest power for her weight; easygoing rather than lively, and happier with a breeze.

Sail area / displacement 13.7
TenderStiff

23% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 23%

A balanced, easily-driven cruiser — comfortable and forgiving for coastal work.

  • Heavier than ~75% of boats her size on file
  • Beamier than ~88% of boats her size on file

Compared with 2362 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
