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 32 — a sea-kindly motion in a seaway.
1.84 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.
182 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.
20.3 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.
45% of her weight is ballast — stiff, standing up well to her sails.
Light and lively — happiest day-sailing and coastal-hopping in settled weather.
- Heavier than ~83% of boats her size on file
- Draws more than ~79% of boats her size on file
- Beamier than ~84% of boats her size on file
Compared with 1566 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
