Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a beamy beam gives 20 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.

Comfort ratio 20
CoastalBluewater

2.24 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.

Capsize screening 2.24
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 136
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 24.4
TenderStiff

36% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.

Ballast 36%

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

  • Beamier than ~97% of boats her size on file

Compared with 2875 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
