Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her moderate displacement on a narrow beam gives 23 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.
At 1.69 she sits well under the 2.0 line — a solidly ocean-capable hull for her size.
237 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.
27.1 — a lot of sail for her weight; powered-up and eager, a real performer.
Powered-up and quick to accelerate — this one likes to sail.
- Lighter than ~80% of boats her size on file
- Draws more than ~100% of boats her size on file
- Narrower than ~98% of boats her size on file
Compared with 2592 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
