Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her heavy displacement on a moderate beam gives 34 — a sea-kindly motion in a seaway.
At 1.67 she sits well under the 2.0 line — a solidly ocean-capable hull for her size.
354 — very heavy for her waterline, a serious load-carrying cruiser.
50% of her weight is ballast — stiff, standing up well to her sails.
Built heavy and sea-kindly — a boat made to cross oceans and forgive a rough night.
