Character

Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.

Ramp-launchableAbout 850 kg of hull, with a keel that raises or a draught shallow enough to float off a trailer — she can go back on the trailer at the ramp, not only into the water.Shoal draughtDraws 0.75 m, board up where she has one — creeks, sandbars and thin anchorages most keels have to stay out of.
LightHeavy

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

Displacement / length 33
EasygoingPowered-up

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

Sail area / displacement 75.0
  • Lighter than ~83% of boats her size on file
  • Draws less than ~93% of boats her size on file

Compared with 121 boats of the same type within a quarter of her length.
