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 17 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.

Comfort ratio 17

CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 2.13

LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 143

EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 21.8

TenderStiff

30% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 30%

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

The Finn FLYER 32 CR is a 9.8-meter fractional sloop designed by Eivind Still and Hans Johansson, built by Finn Flyer since 2006. It features a fin keel with a bulb and a spade rudder, displacing 3499 kg. Aboard *Sailing Triteia*, a 31-foot Finn Flyer named *Mongrel* navigated Penobscot Bay, Maine, contending with high tidal ranges and dense lobster pot fields.28:41 The owner of *Mongrel* relocated the anchor chain from the bow to a vertical storage box near the mast to mitigate hobby-horsing in rough seas, a modification inspired by the vessel *Taboo*.5:41 This custom setup employs a chain pipe, a Samson post, and a purchase-rigged cat line for chain management.6:25 The crew anchored in Pulpit Harbor and Cabot’s Cove, noting the extreme tidal fluctuations and protected harbor entrances.12:10 They used weighted bug screens to manage mosquito activity in anchorages.4:07
