Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
172 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.
23.1 — a lot of sail for her weight; powered-up and eager, a real performer.
- Heavier than ~81% of boats her size on file
Compared with 267 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
