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 35 — a sea-kindly motion in a seaway.

Comfort ratio 35
CoastalBluewater

At 1.41 she sits well under the 2.0 line — a solidly ocean-capable hull for her size.

Capsize screening 1.41
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 323
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 19.0
TenderStiff

58% of her weight is ballast — very stiff, carrying full sail in a blow.

Ballast 58%

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

  • Narrower than ~99% of boats her size on file

Compared with 2903 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
