Podiums

Counted boat against boat, so a popular design wins nothing for being common.

Race Edge

One number for what a design delivers.

Race Edge will not tell you who wins on Sunday. It tells you which design wins more often over a season. Scored from 1 to 99 against the boats it races, from the measurements of every certified example.

Scored separately for light air, medium and heavy: plenty of designs sit on one side of the middle in six knots and the other in twenty.

80+Hard to beat on the water
60Ahead of most of its rivals
50Does what its numbers say
30Fighting its own numbers

Proven on the race course

Ranked by how often each design finishes on the podium, split by the kind of race it was sailing.

A design needs 20 races of that kind on record to be ranked here. The figure is the share of those starts that ended on the podium, not a count, so a popular design gains nothing for being common.
