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 20 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.
2.12 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.
268 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.
22.9 — a lot of sail for her weight; powered-up and eager, a real performer.
Powered-up and quick to accelerate — this one likes to sail.
