How BLU 3 compares with a typical Elan E5
Her main 2026 measurements against the middle of the fleet: one boat per sail number, the latest full-crew configuration with spinnaker, Elan E5s measured since 2025.
Above the line she is quicker than a typical Elan E5; 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 sails level with a typical Elan E5 across the course.
