Character

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

Shoal draughtDraws 0.45 m, board up where she has one — creeks, sandbars and thin anchorages most keels have to stay out of.
CoastalBluewater

At 0.78 she sits well under the 2.0 line — a solidly ocean-capable hull for her size.

Capsize screening 0.78
EasygoingPowered-up

2.9 — modest power for her weight; easygoing rather than lively, and happier with a breeze.

Sail area / displacement 2.9
TenderStiff

31% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 31%

A balanced, easily-driven cruiser — comfortable and forgiving for coastal work.
