Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her light displacement on a moderate beam gives 24 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.
2.16 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.
165 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.
17.0 — moderate power for her weight; steady, all-round performance.
32% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.
Light and lively — happiest day-sailing and coastal-hopping in settled weather.
- Beamier than ~97% of boats her size on file
Compared with 1839 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
