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 12 — a quick, lively motion that feels every wave.
At 2.43 she sits above the 2.0 line — beamy for her weight, and happiest coastal.
184 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.
20.2 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.
41% 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.
- Lighter than ~80% of boats her size on file
Compared with 1090 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
