How BIBA compares with a typical Elan 340
Her main 2026 measurements against the middle of the fleet: one boat per sail number, the latest full-crew configuration with spinnaker, Elan 340s measured since 2025.
Above the line she is quicker than a typical Elan 340; below, slower. Move the wind: plenty of boats sit on one side in the light and the other when it blows.
Full width is 0.4 kn either way.
At 10 knots she gives away time to a typical Elan 340 on the downwind.
