Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a narrow beam gives 14 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.

Comfort ratio 14
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 2.09
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 73
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 29.9
TenderStiff

26% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 26%

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

  • Lighter than ~96% of boats her size on file
  • Draws more than ~96% of boats her size on file
  • Narrower than ~91% of boats her size on file

Compared with 2742 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
