Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a narrow beam gives 39 — a sea-kindly motion in a seaway.

Comfort ratio 39
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 1.71
LightHeavy

164 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.

Displacement / length 164
EasygoingPowered-up

19.7 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.

Sail area / displacement 19.7
TenderStiff

33% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 33%

A capable offshore cruiser with an easy motion when the sea gets up.

  • Heavier than ~90% of boats her size on file
  • Beamier than ~88% of boats her size on file

Compared with 537 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
