Character

Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.

Shoal draughtDraws 0.61 m, board up where she has one — creeks, sandbars and thin anchorages most keels have to stay out of.
LivelySea-kindly

Her moderate displacement on a beamy beam gives 18 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.

Comfort ratio 18
CoastalBluewater

2.29 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.

Capsize screening 2.29
LightHeavy

260 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.

Displacement / length 260
EasygoingPowered-up

22.1 — a lot of sail for her weight; powered-up and eager, a real performer.

Sail area / displacement 22.1
TenderStiff

15% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 15%

Powered-up and quick to accelerate — this one likes to sail.

  • Heavier than ~95% of boats her size on file
  • Beamier than ~99% of boats her size on file

Compared with 617 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
