Character

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

Ramp-launchableAbout 890 kg of hull, with a keel that raises or a draught shallow enough to float off a trailer — she can go back on the trailer at the ramp, not only into the water.
LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a beamy beam gives 7 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.

Comfort ratio 7
CoastalBluewater

At 3.12 she sits above the 2.0 line — beamy for her weight, and happiest coastal.

Capsize screening 3.12
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 90
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 46.3

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

  • Draws more than ~76% of boats her size on file
