Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her moderate displacement on a moderate beam gives 36 — a sea-kindly motion in a seaway.
1.73 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.
256 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.
17.1 — moderate power for her weight; steady, all-round performance.
33% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.
Built heavy and sea-kindly — a boat made to cross oceans and forgive a rough night.
- Heavier than ~76% of boats her size on file
- Beamier than ~78% of boats her size on file
Compared with 315 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
