Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her heavy displacement on a narrow beam gives 49 — a heavy, notably soft motion offshore.

Comfort ratio 49
CoastalBluewater

At 1.53 she sits well under the 2.0 line — a solidly ocean-capable hull for her size.

Capsize screening 1.53
LightHeavy

362 — very heavy for her waterline, a serious load-carrying cruiser.

Displacement / length 362
EasygoingPowered-up

11.4 — modest power for her weight; easygoing rather than lively, and happier with a breeze.

Sail area / displacement 11.4
TenderStiff

51% of her weight is ballast — very stiff, carrying full sail in a blow.

Ballast 51%

Built heavy and sea-kindly — a boat made to cross oceans and forgive a rough night.

  • Heavier than ~88% of boats her size on file

Compared with 396 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
