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 33 — a sea-kindly motion in a seaway.
1.70 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.
371 — very heavy for her waterline, a serious load-carrying cruiser.
15.9 — moderate power for her weight; steady, all-round performance.
42% 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.
