Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her moderate displacement on a moderate beam gives 26 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.
1.95 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.
261 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.
22.2 — a lot of sail for her weight; powered-up and eager, a real performer.
42% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.
Powered-up and quick to accelerate — this one likes to sail.
