Character

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

Shoal draughtDraws 1.05 m, board up where she has one — creeks, sandbars and thin anchorages most keels have to stay out of.
LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a beamy beam gives 10 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.

Comfort ratio 10
CoastalBluewater

At 2.70 she sits above the 2.0 line — beamy for her weight, and happiest coastal.

Capsize screening 2.70
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 131
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 28.8
TenderStiff

93% of her weight is ballast — very stiff, carrying full sail in a blow.

Ballast 93%

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

  • Lighter than ~93% of boats her size on file
  • Draws less than ~76% of boats her size on file
  • Beamier than ~80% of boats her size on file

Compared with 287 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
