Character

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

Shoal draughtDraws 1.00 m, board up where she has one — creeks, sandbars and thin anchorages most keels have to stay out of.
LivelySea-kindly

Her moderate displacement on a beamy beam gives 17 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.

Comfort ratio 17
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 2.16
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 251
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 19.0
TenderStiff

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

Ballast 41%

Powered-up and quick to accelerate — this one likes to sail.
