Shoal draughtDraws 0.90 m, board up where she has one — creeks, sandbars and thin anchorages most keels have to stay out of.

LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 84

EasygoingPowered-up

24.3 — a lot of sail for her weight; powered-up and eager, a real performer.

Sail area / displacement 24.3
