Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her moderate displacement on a beamy beam gives 16 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.
2.24 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.
213 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.
23.3 — a lot of sail for her weight; powered-up and eager, a real performer.
40% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.
Powered-up and quick to accelerate — this one likes to sail.
- Heavier than ~75% of boats her size on file
- Beamier than ~82% of boats her size on file
Compared with 594 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
