How BLU RAY compares with a typical Grand Soleil 37
Her main 2026 measurements against the middle of the fleet: one boat per sail number, the latest full-crew configuration with spinnaker, Grand Soleil 37s measured since 2025.
Above the line she is quicker than a typical Grand Soleil 37; below, slower. Move the wind: plenty of boats sit on one side in the light and the other when it blows.
Full width is 0.6 kn either way.
At 10 knots she gives away time to a typical Grand Soleil 37 on the beam reach.
