Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her heavy displacement on a beamy beam gives 26 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.

Comfort ratio 26
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 2.03
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 319
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 14.9
TenderStiff

46% of her weight is ballast — stiff, standing up well to her sails.

Ballast 46%

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

  • Draws less than ~78% of boats her size on file
  • Beamier than ~77% of boats her size on file

Compared with 2984 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
