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 29 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.

Comfort ratio 29
CoastalBluewater

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

Capsize screening 1.87
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 161
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 27.4
TenderStiff

41% of her weight is ballast — moderately stiff, a middle-of-the-road stability.

Ballast 41%

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

  • Draws more than ~93% of boats her size on file
  • Beamier than ~77% of boats her size on file

Compared with 1575 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
