Character

Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.

LivelySea-kindly

Her moderate displacement on a moderate beam gives 28 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.

Comfort ratio 28
CoastalBluewater

1.95 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.

Capsize screening 1.95
LightHeavy

191 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.

Displacement / length 191
EasygoingPowered-up

18.3 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.

Sail area / displacement 18.3
TenderStiff

28% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 28%

A capable cruiser that sits just inside the offshore line — coastal work with real passages in her.

  • Heavier than ~79% of boats her size on file
  • Draws more than ~76% of boats her size on file
  • Beamier than ~85% of boats her size on file

Compared with 2746 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
