Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her light displacement on a narrow beam gives 29 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.
1.88 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.
125 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.
24.2 — a lot of sail for her weight; powered-up and eager, a real performer.
37% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.
Light and lively — happiest day-sailing and coastal-hopping in settled weather.
- Heavier than ~80% of boats her size on file
- Draws more than ~97% of boats her size on file
- Beamier than ~86% of boats her size on file
Compared with 1144 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
