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 36 — a sea-kindly motion in a seaway.

Comfort ratio 36
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 1.77
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 145
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 23.5
TenderStiff

17% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 17%

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

  • Draws more than ~88% of boats her size on file
