Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her moderate displacement on a moderate beam gives 26 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.
2.00 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.
214 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.
18.9 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.
38% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.
Powered-up and quick to accelerate — this one likes to sail.
- Beamier than ~79% of boats her size on file
Compared with 2425 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
