Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her heavy displacement on a narrow beam gives 29 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.
At 1.63 she sits well under the 2.0 line — a solidly ocean-capable hull for her size.
331 — heavy for her waterline, built to carry stores and ride steadily.
41% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.
Built heavy and sea-kindly — a boat made to cross oceans and forgive a rough night.
- Narrower than ~87% of boats her size on file
Compared with 252 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
