Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her moderate displacement on a beamy beam gives 17 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.
2.30 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.
188 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.
23.1 — a lot of sail for her weight; powered-up and eager, a real performer.
42% of her weight is ballast — stiff, standing up well to her sails.
Powered-up and quick to accelerate — this one likes to sail.
