Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her light displacement on a narrow beam gives 39 — a sea-kindly motion in a seaway.
1.71 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.
144 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.
21.7 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.
39% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.
A capable offshore cruiser with an easy motion when the sea gets up.
- Heavier than ~83% of boats her size on file
- Beamier than ~90% of boats her size on file
Compared with 41 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
