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

Capsize screening 1.56
LightHeavy

310 — heavy for her waterline, built to carry stores and ride steadily.

Displacement / length 310
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 19.9
TenderStiff

31% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 31%

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

  • Heavier than ~94% of boats her size on file
  • Beamier than ~86% of boats her size on file

Compared with 191 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
