Character

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

LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a narrow beam gives 30 — a sea-kindly motion in a seaway.

Comfort ratio 30
CoastalBluewater

1.86 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.

Capsize screening 1.86
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 92
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 28.9
TenderStiff

50% of her weight is ballast — very stiff, carrying full sail in a blow.

Ballast 50%

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

  • Draws more than ~96% of boats her size on file
  • Beamier than ~93% of boats her size on file

Compared with 97 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
