Character

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

Shoal draughtDraws 1.19 m, board up where she has one — creeks, sandbars and thin anchorages most keels have to stay out of.
LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a moderate beam gives 11 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.

Comfort ratio 11
CoastalBluewater

At 2.61 she sits above the 2.0 line — beamy for her weight, and happiest coastal.

Capsize screening 2.61
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 112
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 28.3
TenderStiff

45% of her weight is ballast — stiff, standing up well to her sails.

Ballast 45%

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

  • Beamier than ~81% of boats her size on file

Compared with 366 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
