Character

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

TrailerableBeam 1.24 m — inside the 2.55 m no-permit tow width across most of Europe, and the 2.59 m US and Canadian limit. About 54 kg of hull, so roughly 650 kg on a trailer: check that against your own towing rating.

CoastalBluewater

At 3.31 she sits above the 2.0 line — beamy for her weight, and happiest coastal.

Capsize screening 3.31

EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 49.3

Powered-up and quick to accelerate — this one likes to sail.

Lighter than ~89% of boats her size on file
Narrower than ~94% of boats her size on file
