Is it for you?
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her moderate displacement on a narrow beam gives 48 — a heavy, notably soft motion offshore.
At 1.62 she sits well under the 2.0 line — a solidly ocean-capable hull for her size.
257 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.
17.4 — moderate power for her weight; steady, all-round performance.
33% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.
Built heavy and sea-kindly — a boat made to cross oceans and forgive a rough night.
Compared with 599 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
