Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a moderate beam gives 11 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.

Comfort ratio 11
CoastalBluewater

At 2.44 she sits above the 2.0 line — beamy for her weight, and happiest coastal.

Capsize screening 2.44
LightHeavy

97 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.

Displacement / length 97
EasygoingPowered-up

29.4 — a lot of sail for her weight; powered-up and eager, a real performer.

Sail area / displacement 29.4
TenderStiff

44% of her weight is ballast — stiff, standing up well to her sails.

Ballast 44%

Light and lively — happiest day-sailing and coastal-hopping in settled weather.

  • Lighter than ~85% of boats her size on file
  • Draws more than ~95% of boats her size on file

Compared with 2612 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
