Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her light displacement on a moderate beam gives 22 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.
1.99 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.
171 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.
19.4 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.
33% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.
Light and lively — happiest day-sailing and coastal-hopping in settled weather.
