Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a moderate beam gives 21 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.

Comfort ratio 21
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 2.15
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 132
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 17.9
TenderStiff

32% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 32%

Light and lively — happiest day-sailing and coastal-hopping in settled weather.

  • Beamier than ~92% of boats her size on file

Compared with 2535 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
