Character
Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.
Her light displacement on a moderate beam gives 23 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.
1.98 — just under the 2.0 offshore line; her beam is modest for her weight.
170 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.
22.3 — a lot of sail for her weight; powered-up and eager, a real performer.
41% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.
Light and lively — happiest day-sailing and coastal-hopping in settled weather.
