Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her light displacement on a narrow beam gives 26 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.
1.92 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.
166 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.
43% of her weight is ballast — stiff, standing up well to her sails.
Light and lively — happiest day-sailing and coastal-hopping in settled weather.
- Draws more than ~89% of boats her size on file
Compared with 2239 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
