Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her moderate displacement on a narrow beam gives 36 — a sea-kindly motion in a seaway.
1.72 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.
221 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.
12.2 — modest power for her weight; easygoing rather than lively, and happier with a breeze.
A capable offshore cruiser with an easy motion when the sea gets up.
- Heavier than ~85% of boats her size on file
- Draws less than ~85% of boats her size on file
Compared with 2341 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
