Round the buoys, or offshore

A short windward-leeward and a night at sea ask different things of a boat.

Sharper round the buoys. Short courses reward acceleration and manoeuvring, and that is where this design makes its money.

How BURAN compares with a typical J/122

Her main 2026 measurements against the middle of the fleet: one boat per sail number, the latest full-crew configuration with spinnaker, J/122s measured since 2025.

Above the line she is quicker than a typical J/122; below, slower. Move the wind: plenty of boats sit on one side in the light and the other when it blows.

True wind
Upwind+0.07 kn
Beam reach-0.08 kn
Broad reach-0.03 kn
Downwind-0.02 kn

Full width is 0.4 kn either way.

At 10 knots she gives away time to a typical J/122 on the beam reach.
