Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her moderate displacement on a moderate beam gives 30 — a sea-kindly motion in a seaway.

Comfort ratio 30
CoastalBluewater

1.90 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.

Capsize screening 1.90
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 210
EasygoingPowered-up

17.1 — moderate power for her weight; steady, all-round performance.

Sail area / displacement 17.1
TenderStiff

28% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 28%

A capable cruiser that sits just inside the offshore line — coastal work with real passages in her.

  • Heavier than ~84% of boats her size on file
  • Draws more than ~82% of boats her size on file
  • Beamier than ~86% of boats her size on file

Compared with 2724 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
