How CARBONCAVE compares with a typical ILC 40
Her main 2026 measurements against the middle of the fleet: one boat per sail number, the latest full-crew configuration with spinnaker, ILC 40s measured since 2025.
Above the line she is quicker than a typical ILC 40; 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 ILC 40 on the downwind.
