Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her heavy displacement on a narrow beam gives 29 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.
1.82 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.
312 — heavy for her waterline, built to carry stores and ride steadily.
13.1 — modest power for her weight; easygoing rather than lively, and happier with a breeze.
41% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.
A capable cruiser that sits just inside the offshore line — coastal work with real passages in her.
- Draws less than ~77% of boats her size on file
Compared with 2933 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
